- kranke155 3y agoThat’s what’s happened in Brazil with the PIX system. Same thing in Portugal with MBway. Starts as bank transfers then becomes the de facto way to transfer money.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoWhy not?
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoIt's replacing ACH which is not available to "consumers", only employers. Maybe I'm wrong.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI use the ACH all the time. I can't do it directly, but that's just an artifact that isn't of much significance to me, given that various financial services company give me access to use it as I need to. The same thing will presumably happen for FedNow.
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoWhich bank gives ACH access to non-business accounts?
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoIt's ACH access without being ACH. I can trivially transfer cash to my kid's accounts at other banks, and to/from my 3rd party savings accounts, all via ACH. Likewise, PayPal and Wise (formerly Transferwise) provide it in the opposite direction: I can pull via ACH directly from my bank account.
