What Are P2P Payments?
Peer-to-peer (P2P) payments enable individuals to transfer money directly between each other using digital platforms or apps—no traditional intermediaries like banks needed. You typically only need the recipient’s email, phone number, or username to send money.
Benefits and Limitations of Traditional P2P
- Convenient & Fast: Transfers usually complete within minutes via smartphones—much faster than checks or traditional transfers.
- Privacy-Preserving: Bank details are not exposed to the recipient.
- Low Cost: Many are free or charge minimal fees, though instant service or international transfers may cost more.
- Potential Risks: Fraud protection and dispute processes vary; users may still fall victim to scams or errors.
- Geographic Restrictions: Some services don’t support cross-border transactions or are unavailable in certain countries.
