In Europe you have SEPA transfers where the reversibility after a transfer is comparable to a wire transfer. You can't really avoid them because they are the standard way of transferring money (if you don't pay by card or use dire

The US system is more complex, but I wouldn't attribute this to malice. The reason why it's so easy to file taxes in lots of European countries is because the tax system (for the general population) is a lot simpler. For example i
