I'd be thrilled if US banks figured out how to do "instant" money exchanges.

Today, if I pay my credit card from an account with a different bank, the payment is reflected immediately in my Visa account, but takes 3-5 days to reflect in my main checking account. It's completely bonkers that a 100% electronic transaction takes days to fulfill.




It took us 15 years to get tap to pay; I wouldn't holdout on any of these dinos innovating anytime soon.


They want as much time as possible for that money to gain interest before it leaves their possession.


FedNow is slowly rolling out. We'll see what happens.

FedNow's list of participating financial institutions on their web site is a downloadable Excel spreadsheet. Innovation indeed.
