  For parts of the world ‘free bank’ and ‘free transfers’ are just the norm anyway. I’m amazed it isn’t the case in the US already.

      What is the alternative to a paycheck? Most people get the money deposited directly to their bank account anyway, there’s no actual paper check involved.

    It’s always crazy to be reminded this. The banks make money from your savings and your debt with them, they don’t need to be double or triple dipping on charging you for the privilege of letting them do that or sending it to somewhere else to do the same

  It’s actually wild to me,as a Canadian, how this isn’t a thing in America. Interac blows away my American friends on a constant basis.

  Good point.

  I dunno, it has 200M active users, doesn’t it?

  It’s hard to be really sure, because we know there’s a staggering number of bots.

  But I suppose even if the real number is a fraction of that 200M, it’s still a huge number of users.
