How much does it cost to use?

Friends and Family payments can be made to anyone in the U.S. for free (from your bank account or PayPal). 

If you are sending money internationally, you may be charged a transaction fee equal to 5% of the send amount (up to $4.99 USD). 

When you pay with a debit or credit card, you’ll be charged a small processing fee—for both domestic and international transactions. Currently the rate is 2.9% + a fixed fee (varies by currency; $0.30 in the U.S.).
