I don’t see what more US banks could do. I have been transferring money instantly to people online for over a decade for free. They have websites/apps, I can withdraw paper money around the world, what other utility could a “bank” provide me?
They are utilities that keep a database associating account number and dollar number.
I earn a few thousand dollars from them every year in the form of sign up bonuses, and I have never spent a dime in fees for having an account or transferring money.
If the US government offered a more protected way of saving money not subject to know-your-customer-revoke-access-to-your-property-at-anytime-under-the-guise-of-potential-criminal-activity laws, then I would use them.

- lotsofpulp 2y agoUS banks do pay interest. If you're not earning at least US federal funds rate minus ~50bps, that's on you for not choosing to spend 5 min to open a bank account. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/high-interest-savings-to-get/ https://www.doctorofcredit.com/high-interest-savings-to-get/ Capital One/CIT/Citi/PNC/Apple Card/Marcus/Ally/American Express are all reputable, big banks with long histories.
