We have stuff like paypal and Zelle, but they can be very capricious and throttle you out of nowhere while you're trying to get your rent paid.

Personal checks aren't accepted in every context, but usually when we have a relationship with a client, we'll accept personal checks.

How do you guys pay for stuff in kiwiland? ;)

Depends on the context. We've had EFTPOS cards for a long time. We use credit/debit cards online, and a lot of people are now using them in person too, because of PayWave. I still mostly use cash, with EFTPOS as a backup.

More recently there's POLI for online payments, which redirects you to your bank's online banking web app, which is cool. I try to use this wherever it's available, to cut the credit card corporations out of the chain.

I guess some people use PayPal? Not me. I've never trusted it, and the more I learn about the people behind it, the more true that is.

That's nice, are those government-created payment systems?

We really need that in the U.S.... and will probably never get one.

High-functioning failed state, yo.
