    No easy way to send money over the border. No venmo, and our ‘interac Etransfer’ doesn’t work for American banks :/

    I got a buddy in California who’s gonna buy it and ship it to me

      How great is etransfer, though? Venmo seems like total trash from what I’ve seen of it.

        It’s offered as a free service through our major banks.

        No fees for transfers up to 5k (I think?). Nearly instant transfers. Pretty hassle free

          Yeah, i love it and use it often. I may not have expressed that rhetorical thought well!

      I did not know that. Til.

      The offer still stands, through alternative means apparently.

      PayPal isn’t great but it’s a relatively easy way to send money and very common.

      There’s also Wise, and various other smaller apps.
