Yahoo Offers International Payments
SUNNYVALE, Calif.- Yahoo plans to launch a service to let people send money overseas, even if recipients don't have a bank account. Yahoo said its international payments system, PayDirect International, will allow users to send money to 182 countries, regardless of whether the receiver has Yahoo, or even Internet access. After a user sends cash, the recipient would receive a bank card usable at more than 800,000 ATMs worldwide. Yahoo said it will absorb the the costs of creating and sending the cards. The card, Yahoo said, will work like a regular ATM card, letting the holder withdraw incremental amounts or the entire balance. Senders can add cash to the cards, up to specified limits, through the PayDirect website.
