Once again, Google has managed to impress me, this time by figuring out a way on how you can send money via your Gmail account.<\/p>\n

The concept of Google Wallet<\/a> has been around for a while, but until now, it has never been put into practice.<\/p>\n

The guys at Google have announced that their Send Money in Gmail<\/a> feature will be available for all their users who currently reside in the UK.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing-gif\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What does this exactly mean?<\/h2>\n

It means that they can send and receive money for free, directly from their desktop (mobile is still not available), with only a couple of clicks.<\/p>\n

Amazing, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-banking is a complete nightmare\u00a0because most of\u00a0the services that deal with money transfer have terrible user interfaces.<\/p>\n

Everything is messy, complicated\u00a0and\u00a0unresponsive, which is not the case with Gmail.<\/p>\n

Aside from that, the biggest benefit for me of this feature is that I can now pay freelancers for their services, directly from my Gmail.<\/p>\n

No more asking for bank accounts and adding them to an ever growing\u00a0excel sheet, so I don’t forget them.<\/p>\n

No. From now on, I can just attach their fee to an email, and send it when they complete their responsibilities.<\/p>\n

I think this feature is especially going to be big once Google makes it possible for Gmail users to send and receive money overseas.<\/p>\n

No matter if\u00a0you are giving away or landing\u00a0your family pay a wedding, medical bills, or just buy something for the house, you won’t have to think about additional transfer fees.<\/p>\n

You won’t have to mess around with additional transfer services, you’ll be able to do it directly from your favorite email client (Gmail).<\/p>\n

As you can probably figure out from what\u00a0I wrote above, I really hate complicated things. I don’t like being force to have 20 tools for 20 different things.<\/p>\n

I like simplicity. Everyone who gives me an option to do everything I need to do, directly from one platform, has my endless respect.<\/p>\n

Google has done this. With this option, they’re “cutting the middle man”, an giving me a feature that will make my everyday working tool (Gmail) even more valuable.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Google, paying my\u00a0bills has officially been made simple as sending an email.<\/p>\n
