I need your help Canada. My husband has a brother in Canada. He is not technologically inclined but is trying to send us some money. He tried E-transfer but it is only available within Canada and I suggested Cash App but it seems that is not available in Canada. BESIDES PAYPAL/ZOOM what is the easiest way for him to send us some cash?? Thanks a bunch

Paypal isn't that hard to use. Is he completely averse to computers or something? Both the Paypal app AND the website allow you to send money to literally anyone. I use it to send money between my Canadian and American bank accounts all the time. Otherwise, wire transfer at the bank is the only option but those have a fee.

Both xe.com and ofx.com do transfers, as well as transferwise, otherwise he can go to his local bank and wire the money, though they'll probably charge a fee.  He'll need all the information on the recipient's account (which you can send him).

 

If it's only a small amount (say $50), then he can easily buy USD as cash at the local bank and pop it in a birthday card.

I love the app I have used it a million times but I am behind on my PayPal credit card payments and I'm paranoid that they will intercept the money although I'm pretty sure they cant do that
