  • Alternative to PayPal

    Just read this on the bbc that barclays has now released a smartphone app to send payments & can be used with all UK banks

    Mobile Payments | Barclays Pingit UK Mobile Payment - Barclays

    May be a alternative to Paypal & their fees & quicker than sending a Faster Payment through bank

          It works with any account Ben. Sounds good too, end of PayPal rip off charges It would appear though, (correct me if I am wrong) that only registered people can send and receive money between themselves. Therefore it is well worth spreading the word and getting everyone on board.

            Yep only registered users but if everyone signs up as it only takes a couple of minutes then it's a decent alternative

              I take it payments go into your pingit account. Then u have to transfer to your bank account? Can it then be transferred as a immediate payment to your bank?

                From reading up I believe it uses the faster payments service as its backbone so presume that it can go into your account within the allotted 2 hours

                  Hi guys I work for Barclays, if your a barclays customer you can link the app directly to your bank account. If your not a Barclays customer you will need to visit a branch of Barclays to register your ID and create a customer record an open a wallet account. A wallet account is an account that can only be used with pingit and you can transfer money to and from your wallet account via faster payments from any uk bank. Faster payments is instantaneous. Hope this helps, also it wont work on jailbroken devices.

                      Hi if you don't visit a branch to be identified then your account will be restricted (detailed in t&c's) by visiting a branch you will have unrestricted access. This only applies if your a non Barclays customer, barclays customers get unrestricted access straight away by linking it to their current account as they have already been ID'd.

                        I have just signed up. Would someone mind sending me some money to see if it works? Better make it £100, k?

                            Will be good for ebay sellers I suppose (no fees, plus no buyer protection?)..

                            ...but isnt it just a bank transfer?
