When I want to pay someone back, do I have to stay with the recipient until the end of the transaction?
It depends. If you want to reimburse someone via QR code, you need to be near them so you can scan their QR code in their app using your app. Once you’ve scanned the code and confirmed the payment with your PIN or biometrics, you can get on with your day.
Of course, you can also pay friends back or get reimbursed remotely: using the ‘Receive money’ button, you can easily send a payment request via your favourite messaging app to get money back remotely.
