Pros

“Being able to transfer money instantly to my bank account for a tiny fee proves extremely practical when I need to unlock small amounts of cash urgently while traveling.”

“The qr code feature is also really handy when you are meeting someone for the first time like at a flea market because you dont have to type in a long username and risk sending money to the wrong person.”
