Venmo not available to me in Europe. Can’t wait to have Apple Cash.

Like mobile money in Africa, various service providers will jump up to allow cross wallet transfers.

People use paypal for this in Europe

EDIT: Ok, maybe just in Germany.

And just to be clear: Paypal is an adverse company that tries to trick its users on every page.

I live in Northern Europe and I've never heard of anyone using Paypal for anything other than paying for things online. Each country has their own specific service that the majority uses (MobilePay, Siirto, Swish, etc).

It is pretty common in Germany (at least in my bubble) to transfer money via paypal to one another.

I don't know anyone using Paypal for this scenario. However, people do use Wise and Revolut.

In my country (in EU) everyone uses it. Friends, colleagues, family, everyone. That part is great. But the app sucks. I wish PayPal would fix their app. Animations are buggy, it's slow (not really slow but slow enough to show a loading spinner every time) and navigating through the app is hard.
