Venmo
Wondering if this app is good and secure. I'm thinking about using it to send money to my daughters in college.

To be frank, I'd never use an app to transfer money unless it was the only option, and then I'd set up a throw-away account that I only had enough money in to send the cash I want to send.
I'd use a service like Western Union instead.

Why not use PayPal?

Can confirm that app is as good as it sounds. I do think there is some really small hidden fees but if that doesn't bother you it's great. It will take a few min to get the bank account info set up on her end and I think it can take as long as 3 days to get the money. If you guys have the same bank I am sure they offer a faster and free service but this is a great alternative. Use pretty regularly to collect fantasy football money, march madness, and pay people for lunch.

Haven't used it yet, and by the sounds of that article that took 2seconds to find, I don't think I'm going to use it until the security gets better
