I’m going to a wedding this weekend, and the bride and bride groom don’t have a gift registry - rather, they have requested that anyone who wants to offer something can make a contribution to their future.
In instances like this, normally you would issue a cheque or give cash. But wouldn’t it be great if you could create a gift card which you could print with the URL, and those funds could be put into holding until they have been withdrawn? Just something a little more special than just giving cash, which they’d have to deposit into an account in-branch anyway.
Paypal? Bank Transfer? Assuming they’re not on Monzo
I don’t think I’d have been able to fulfil that request with my previous bank either (I’d have had to order a cheque book, and they take about 2 weeks to arrive).
