Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common money-tool questions.

1 What is the cheapest way to send money internationally?
Wise typically offers the lowest fees for international transfers because it uses the real mid-market exchange rate. PayPal and bank wires usually charge more. Always compare the total cost, including the exchange rate margin.
2 Is it safe to keep money in PayPal or Cash App?
Both platforms are legitimate and widely used, but they are not banks. Your balance may not be FDIC-insured unless you activate specific features. It is best to transfer funds to your bank account regularly and enable two-factor authentication.
3 Do I need QuickBooks or FreshBooks for my small business?
QuickBooks is better for businesses that need full accounting, payroll, and tax reporting. FreshBooks is ideal for freelancers and service businesses that primarily need invoicing, time tracking, and simple expense management.
4 How do I dispute a charge on PayPal or Stripe?
On PayPal, go to the Resolution Center and open a dispute within 180 days of the transaction. On Stripe, disputes are handled through your bank’s chargeback process. Our guides walk you through each step with screenshots.
5 Can I use Zelle for business payments?
Zelle is primarily designed for personal bank-to-bank transfers between trusted contacts. Some small businesses use it for quick payments, but it offers no buyer or seller protection. For business use, PayPal, Stripe, or Square are safer choices.
