How do I send my technologically challenged parents cash easiest?

My parents loaned me money, and we don't live near eachother. I am looking for the easiest way to give my parents access to their money that I am repaying monthly. It can't be anything Digitally Smartphone related. I personally use Venmo/GooglePay but I am not expecting them to do so. Let alone transferring and stuff.

Is there a way to load a card for them and they can ATM withdraw on their end? But like I have access to load the card on my end at any time. Thanks

    The easiest and most logical is for you to send them a check in the mail. If for some reason you don't know how to do this, you can set up bill pay through your bank to them. The bank will send them a check.

    (I'm laughing at you saying they are technologically challenged but you yourself don't know about the easy options, with and without technology, available. It's not about technology in general but the type each of you are comfortable with. Also, it's extremely easy to just contact your bank and ask them the options instead of asking people from around the world.)

    Write a check? Don't over think this.

    I'm sure banks work the same way in most countries- you can set up a standing order for a fixed amount monthly from your own account into theirs, (assuming they do actually have a bank account, and that you do too?) do it online from your own account using their account number and sort code. Or just transfer the amount on an agreed day each month.

    I don't get why this is difficult.

    Why don't you send them monthly checks?

  • 2 years ago

    You open a bank account and get two ATM cards. You use one card to put money into the bank account; they use the other card to take money out of the bank account.

    Just get a joint bank account...or send money directly into their account...

    Open an account just for your parents...send them the ATM card.

    Most banks will let you set up a payment to pay them each month from your bank account, whether by direct deposit to their account or by the bank mailing them a check. Ask at your bank.

    Why not just send it by Western Union? You can do it from your phone and as long as they have a picture I.D. for whoever's name you send it to, they can pick it up just a few minutes after you send it at any Western Union office. They will be given cash and will need to deposit in their bank, however.
