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?
Yup, as if a ghost showed up and took a quarter for every dollar you gave to someone.
