PayPal for Android Adds Donation Support

by Kevin Krause on January 14th, 2011 at 5:45 pm

PayPal has just brought to our attention a small update to their Android app that came just before Christmas that could make a huge difference to those in need. PayPal mobile for Android now supports donations to over 23,000 charities in the US, UK, and Canada. Included in that group are the likes of World Food Program USA, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and Habitat for Humanity.

The goal is to make donations streamlined and easy to help encourage folks to give a little to people who may need it more by helping some great organizations, and a huge presence of 5 million downloads should only help. Check it out in the Market if you haven’t already.

    Ah, so donation support, huh?
    But not to Wikileaks. Screw PayPal.

    Donations are all minus 3.75% fee to a 3rd party. Nice. Also no gift aid as far as I can tell. I don’t think I’ll be using this.

    Oh, I just read this part:
    .
    “Bump” feature is a fun new way to send money
    .

    Sounds like they want you to pay for your prostitutes this way. I don’t think that’ll go over so well. Makes it a little harder for politicians to hide. Then of course wikileaks finds out and…. :P

    So where is the ability to use the check image capture for deposit like the iOS devices have? That is the only feature I need.

  • bill

  • RockinEvo
