Blend vs. Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)

I have not experienced any other system that can do what Blend does as easily as Blend. It's very well suited for the mortgage industry and its ability to communicate with Encompass. I don't think it would be a great CRM tool for a company that doesn't need multiple touch points to a client, for instance, if you simply need a name, phone number, and email address Blend would be overkill. Blend is designed specifically to capture a lot of specific details about a client's financial position.

Xoom is best suited to send and receive money between two people who live in different countries, not only that we can also send money to our friends, colleagues, family members directly in their bank accounts. They have a great currency exchange functionality that directly converts our received money into our local currency, and deposits it into our bank account within a few minutes. The only drawback is that not many people know about it, it needs good marketing so that more people can use this service, and from my experience, I can say it is very secure and a good competitor of Payoneer.

The implementation was largely successful. Since this was a large shift from normal practices, we faced a few teething problems, but largely I'd say it went well.

We agreed to select Xoom as the main payment method since it had more flexible options. It gives the user a full guarantee of transacting safely and when there is a conflict the customer support team acts quickly. The charges for sending and receiving money are relatively low as compared to other platforms. The mobile application has biometric login features making it difficult for unauthorized users to access confidential information.

• Overall Xoom has literally added to our bottom line by allowing more than a physical check payment option.
