Google Checkout allows users to store credit card info on Google and then make one click payments. This is a big step forward in convenience ( and also potential problems with fraud and identity theft) Amazon and Paypal run equally convenient systems to pay people. So do credit cards.
But interesting how the big web companies are slowly moving forward to assume defacto pole position when you make purchases via the net. US Banks and credit card companies have been slow to recognized the threat.
Opinion is divided about whether it'll work. However it's a relentless trend now. Financial service are moving away from financial houses, to new places; like Google: and new systems of sending money from one person to another are springing up which ordinary consumers are embracing.

Perceptric Forum
According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network. Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network. The Perceptric Blog is where business partners in Perceptric Pty Limited, Chris Gilbey and Tom Koltai post thoughts, ideas, and links to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas with a particular focus on P2P. P2P can be considered as (a) The best Decongestant for the Internet (b) The most efficient Digital Distribution Channel that exists. Perceptric Thinkers are available to consult on the impact of disruptive technology. If your business is not disrupting someone else, it is probably being disrupted by others. The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people exceed their expectations. We try to help people redefine the ecosystem that they operate in, and understand the impact that digital technology is having - that they have not yet considered. Login
