Send Payments By Following Four Simple Steps
The customer enters the dollar amount to transfer funds, adds a new recipient by entering their name and phone number or email address or selects an existing recipient, and then keys in an optional memo field.
The account holder establishes a secret word or passphrase that they share with the recipient and a SMS text message or email is sent to the recipient upon pressing continue.
The recipient will receive a SMS text message or email notification that includes a link. The recipient will be prompted to enter the secret word or passphrase. Next they enter their name and debit card or account information.
Funds will be transferred.
