It literally doesn't. And why would Europeans use venmo? That type of app arose in the USA specifically, to work around not having a convenient way to send money from one bank account to another - much like bulletproof school backpacks, it solves a uniquely American problem.
As an Australian we have payid to transfer free and instantly between banks instead of needing a 3rd party app but I think he's right that if you are relying on IBAN and needing to do an individual bank transfer then it's not ideal.
It should be as easy as possible to donate, imo it would be better even setting up a basic kofi or buy me a coffee account, or I see the Ukrainians using paypal all the time.
It should be a 3 click payment not a bank transfer requiring copying and pasting IBAN numbers and bank account numbers etc
To poke fun at the Germans at least they are not requesting we fax a copy of the money in :P
The most popular way to transfer money between friends in Poland is a BLIK-to-phone-number transfer. Those transfers are done from the banking app. I don’t need to know someone’s account number, I just need their phone number. BLIK transfers are instant, unlike regular bank transfers, which may take up to 1 business day (specifically, they are done via batch processing 3 times in a business day), and they are always free, unlike instant bank transfers (though that depends on your bank/account type).
