Person to Person Transfers
If you liked sending PayPal Friends and Family, Zelle, and Cash App are close choices. Secure your phone and be wise to scams. Zelle is pretty thick with corporate banking, so you’ve moved away from that, you’ll need to use their app with a debit or credit card connected. Gab Pay is another, but they do charge a low fee. The good news about the fee is you can decide who pays it, and you’re supporting free speech.
International Money Transfers

Website Payments
Most likely, the easiest thing to do is switch over to Stripe. However, depending on your size, you may be best off with a legitimate merchant account. One of those things that grown up businesses have for credit card processing. Sometimes we get going with the easy thing and forget or put off upgrading. If that’s you, then it’s time to look at things like Authorize.net.
Gab Pay, Align Pay, Parallel Economy and Second Ammendment Processing are more freedom oriented choices.
