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.

Aye, it's about my least favorite, but it *is* convenient for online shopping. We don't have too many good options in the U.S.

Zelle is incredibly capricious. They have all kinds of throttling algorithms that are a total black box. you can go to pay your rent and then find out you can only transfer $500 per day. That happened recently to someone I know.
