Another Person 2 Person Payments (e.g., PayPal, Dwolla) network: PopMoney

Incidentally, Bitinstant is saying they will be introducing the ability to do ACH transfers directly:

But it does not work as an account, like PayPal or Dwolla.  The funds only go to the recipient's bank, not to an account with Popmoney,

Thanks for clarifying that. I misunderstood that aspect of PopMoney. From their FAQ

"Do payments sent to me expire?
Yes. You have 10 days from the date you receive the payment notification to provide your bank account information. After 10 days, if you have not provided your bank account information, the payment expires and the funds are returned to the sender."

Yup, that part occurs instantly.  Once the recipient confirms the receipt, then PopMoney does the ACH push (which takes about 3 days).

Great to hear competition is on the way

an interesting concept, but not much use for it i guess for now.

the question you need to ask yourself is: where is it accepted?

Where is what accepted?  If you are referring to PopMoney, it is P2P -- anyone can receive PopMoney and it ends up escrowed by PopMoney until the recipient claims it which then withdraws it to the recipient's bank account.  The problem isn't receiving the problem is sending, as so few banks offer it.  Oh, and the other problem is that it is ACH and thus reversible when fraud is declared.
