Since 1998, PayPal has become one of the most popular online money transfer platforms.
Whether you are looking to get reimbursed for a night out on the town with your best friends, or you're a freelancer looking to get commissioned for your work, PayPal is one of the most popular ways to receive a money transfer. Since then, numerous money transfer apps have surfaced, including Cash App and Venmo.

However, you can transfer money from one to the other, but you will have to do an extra step and transfer it to your bank account first.
