Mountain America Credit Union Introduces Send Money — Person-to-Person (P2P) Payments Powered by PayPalTM

WEST JORDAN, UT (July 31, 2013) — In the push to accommodate technological innovation, Mountain America Credit Union recently introduced a fast and easy way to send money to anyone, anytime, and anywhere using Mountain America’s Send Money — Powered by PayPal<https://www.macu.com/personal/onlineservices/sendmoney/>TM.

Many financial institutions are beginning to embrace the power and potential of the person-to-person (P2P) payment and mobile wallet space. Now Mountain America members can transfer funds to anyone regardless of where they bank with Send Money, a new feature of Mountain America’s Online and Mobile Banking<https://www.macu.com/personal/onlineservices/mobilebanking/>. It’s a fast and easy way to send money to friends, family and businesses. It doesn’t require cash, checks or wire transfers.  All members need is a mobile number or an email address.

“Financial companies are beginning to realize that simple money transfer capabilities will not fully satisfy their customers,” said Rob Cummings, senior vice president of online and mobile banking for Mountain America. “Consumers are asking for the ability to pay their friends electronically, including splitting checks at restaurants, paying babysitter wages via digital money, or even sharing in monthly rent. And customers want this service to be free and instantaneous. Send Money does all this, and more.”

Send Money is available through Mountain America’s Online Branch and mobile app. To learn more about Send Money — Powered by PayPal, visit http://www.macu.com/personal/onlineservices/sendmoney/.
