Cashless Payments on the Rise

Cash is out. Peer-to-peer (P2P) payments are in. P2P services allow an individual to send money to another person’s bank account through a third-party website or mobile app after linking a bank account or credit/debit card.

A testamentary trust is created after your death and funded from your estate according to the terms of your will.
