not in the US, in the UK.

i know financial systems in the US are about a decade behind those here.

for example: we have Faster Payments in the UK. completely free instant payments between bank accounts. and when i say instant, they’re millisecond instant.

if i mistype a name when sending a bank payment, it will warn me and ask for a confirmation.

if i mistype a bank account but not the name it either comes back to me or it goes to the right bank account.

and there are many other features like these.



> they’re millisecond instant.

Zelle is millisecond instant as well.

Ok so, use this "Faster Payments" thing to do what I said then report back.
