    Finally, it’s ridiculous we have to pay fees to a private company just to easily transfer money.

    Finger crossed it’ll be compatible with IBAN/SWIFT banking so we can actually be a part of the International community.

      So in the UK we have had a standard free “instant” payment system between banks for what feels like a couple of decades now (and compatibility with the IBAN for at least half that time). Given that, how has this taken so long? What did people do before Venmo?
