Paypal is extremely safe and it s even more safe than ever. Through paypal, NO ONE ever gets you bank info. You aren t even using your own credit card numbers. You can sign up for Secure Cards, which are super. Anytime you want to pay for something with paypal, it gives you a completely different card# and CCV (the # on the back), and expiration date that lasts for 30 days only. No one sees your actual card # but paypal s computer. They also save every receipt for you and keep a running balance. Your husband has to appreciate these things, which are better than a bank.
I ve had an account with Paypal for over 8 years and never had a problem with security of my personal information. As an alternative, you might get a credit card with a very small limit ($100) and use that for Paypal - that way if your info ever gets stolen, the criminal can only spend $100 (and the credit card company probably wouldn t ding you for it if you reported it right away).
Pay pal is a bank. They are just as secure as any other bank.
or open another checking account with small balance and only use that for paypal
