And we totally agree: by separating the core of BillMonk from actual payments we keep an informal feel to the system; more like the notepad on the fridge door, and less like a financial institution. By plugging in a third-party payment system, we give users the best of both worlds. :) Cheers, and thank you also for this very positive post on your blog: http://www.thejasonmurphyshow.com/index.php/2006/01/30/iou_1_bill_monk Thank you Jason!

As a user I enjoy what BillMonk represents: virtual IOUs. I can payback how and when I want, or let BM tally up to the next bill. If you were also a payment system, I'd feel obligated to pay the person back immediately from my funds - even if it wasn't required. It would be a lot like a glorified invoice from PayPal. Having BillMonk as a payment service may take away from the experience, but teaming with another service would not. Using paypal as the example again, Ebay didn't lose the user experience when they teamed up with PayPal. A lot of people were afraid they would, but it actually enhanced the overall experience and made a lot of additional features available that weren't before. Users of ebay who preferred other pay systems didn't lose what they use Ebay for either. Your product is solid. Keep up the great work guys.
