Buxfer + Amazon = Settle your debts online!
August 3rd, 2007 by Shashank
It’s a pleasure to announce that starting today, Buxfer will provide the facility to make online payments for users in the United States. Buxfer now supports Amazon Payments and lets you send and receive money from your friends right from your Buxfer account.
What are the benefits?
- Settle your debts online; never write a check again
- No more excuses for your friends to not pay up on time
- Track all your expenses — debts as well as settlements — at one convenient location
Is it safe?
- Absolutely! Payments are processed with Amazon Payments, and are guaranteed to be secure
- Your financial information stays safe with Amazon, and is NEVER made available to Buxfer
But how much does it cost? … Its FREE!
- You can send money to any email address for free
- Receiving money is also free until 31 Aug 2007. Read more about the fee schedule
Could it get any better? :)
One of the key benefits of using Amazon Payments is the ability to accrue balances in an online account (similar to your Paypal account balance). Transfers involving Amazon accounts are instantaneously processed, which means no waiting for the funds to arrive at the other end!
Amazon has released a fantastic platform here and we are proud to be their launch partners. Money transfer as a web service is tremendously powerful, and we’re sure there will be a lot more applications utilizing this very soon.

Amazon must be surely having plans to expand into international territory, hopefully they’ll do it sooner than later!

This is fantastic! I can’t wait for my friends to sign up and then pay me moolah. I guess I’ll have to pay them back as well :)
Good work guys!

Buxfer supports Amazon’s Payments Service as a means to transfer money online to your friend. The only requirement is that your friend should explicitly enable payments on his Buxfer account.
Once you login to your account, you can see links titled ‘Send Money’. Please use them to initiate money transfers.
More info at http://www.buxfer.com/help.php?topic=Payments. And of course, feel free to contact us at support AT buxfer.com.
Also, very curious about why you found this difficult to discover by yourself. Is there someway we can make it easier to understand and use?
