List Of Top 3 Paypal Alternatives
Posted on 22. Jun, 2010 by Vivek Krishnan in Blog Tips
Paypal is the most popular online payment services that are used. No doubt, it is my favorite and remains to be so. It was founded by internet entrepreneur Peter Thiel. I have already talked about Paypal founder Peter Thiel in a previous post. If you have been looking for alternatives to Paypal then there will be only a few options that can match up to their reliability and reach of service. But the list I have provided below will provide you with as much online security and ease of transactions as Paypal.
Here is a list of of top 3 alternatives to Paypal:
AlertPay: Alertpay is a great way to make online money transactions. It has good security features that match up to Paypal. It is a is a free to join internet payment service allowing you to send and receive money online. Alertpay has an easy interface for users to operate. It is suitable for both – the beginner who just transacts in a few hundred dollars as well as regular internet merchants who have much higher amounts in their account. Over the last few years, AlertPay has continued to improve its features to provide as high reliability as Paypal. In Alertpay you can register with both- a business account or a personal account. A business account in Alertpay allows you to accept credit card payments as well.
Google CheckOut: This is an extremely safe way for online buyers and sellers to transact money. None of your personal details will be shared as they will be held secure with Google itself. By using the Google Checkout service, you do not need to share your details with vendors online. Most people have begun to prefer Paypal over Google Checkout due to the Google brand name in it. They have a well-designed user dashboard where you can track all your orders and shipping in one place.
OboPay: OboPay became popular mainly when Paypal services were suspended for 5 days. OboPay provides instant money transfers via cell phone and internet. The registration for new users is free and they do not charge you anything for receiving payments. It supports all kinds of online payments such as sending, receiving, purchasing via online stores etc. Similarly, just like Paypal allows money transfer directly to your bank account, you can move money from your Obopay account to your bank account.
If you want to register for any of the above online payment services above. I have hyperlinked them to the site’s homepages. You can register yourself and make use of their services. Although, these alternatives to Payal are quite good. Most internet merchants continue to prefer Paypal.

Thanks for your comments Prakash. But does Alertpay support payment to Indian banks? Moreover, I think most sites do not even have an option to send money to Alertpay account. Online money is a game that is wildly dominated by Paypal.

Paypal and RBI issues continue to hound paypal payment acceptance in India.
Cant receive more than 500$ in 1 transaction and also auto releases the payment to the bank within 7 days not allowing you to hold back for better rates or pay other people with the earned money
