If you're not a Chase customer or want alternative options, there are plenty of other apps to send money. Cash App and Venmo are two popular options that allow you to send or receive money, as long as the other person also uses the app.

Both Cash App and Venmo let you pay someone using a credit card, and they're free to download. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also options, but you need an iPhone or a Google account to use them.

If you choose to use an alternative app, be aware that it may take longer to receive the money, since you'll need to initiate a separate transaction to send the funds to your checking account.

Venmo is another option that works similarly to Cash App, but with a public feed for sharing transaction information. Both you and your friend must download the app and create a Venmo account to start transferring cash.

Apple Pay and Google Pay are also viable alternatives, allowing you to send money right in the Messages app (if you have an iPhone) or through a Google account. Just keep in mind that these apps may require separate registration and may take longer to receive the money.
