24 alternatives to Peanut
Hi HN! I’ve been frustrated with traditional payments for a while. Paypal has frozen my funds on two occasions; and in one of them the funds were never recoverable. When I’m not using PayPal, international bank transfers take days and charge me insane amounts. Also, every country usually has their own payment app parallel to the banking system: Portugal, where i currently live, has MB WAY, Brazil has PIX, Argentina has Mercadopago, the US has Cashapp. None of these work with each other. Money still feels like pre-dotcom era tech when it should feel like a whatsapp message: send instant,…

Good morning everyone! My co-founder and I recently moved to the UK after working at Robinhood for over 5 years. We were stunned at the fees it was costing us to move money across borders with existing fintech solutions, so we decided to start Atlantic Money - the world’s first fixed fee (with no FX markup) money transfer product. For £3 you can transfer up to £1M. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hey everyone! I just built a mobile app using Expo (React Native) for a platform that moves $6M/month. It’s a neobank used by 6,500+ nonprofit organizations across the world. One of my biggest challenges, while juggling being a full-time student, was getting permission from Apple/Google to use advanced native features such as Tap to Pay (for in-person donations) and Push Provisioning (for adding your card to your digital wallet). It was months of back-and-forth emails, test case recordings, and also compliance checks. Even after securing Apple/Google’s permission, any minor…

Hi Hackernews, Last year around February, I found myself having to pay contractors for various services that they provided me as I completed my new home. An occurring question that kept coming up with each conversation was - how do you want me to pay you or do you have “X” payment app on your phone that I can send the cash to? I realized that some preferred Venmo, others preferred cash app - some had neither only relied on PayPal. Being the software engineer that I am, I figured why not build an app where a person can just list all their payment apps and then I can pick which ever worked for…
