Good
More convenient than Venmo and PayPal. Can't figure out why this isn't more mainstream. Most everyone has a Gmail (Google) account. Yet most people give me a funny look when I ask if I can pay them Google Pay. So I finally created a Venmo account... Google Pay is superior except for its confusing lack of popularity....
