People have being using banks for centuries.

POST /my-account/charge is not an abstraction, it's pretty much exactly what people do and have done.

When this happens, it’s usually meant as a RPC endpoint, yes. However, it can be an abstraction, especially if you call it “POST /my-account/charges”, in plural form: you’re sending a new object to the “charges” resource (this architectural technique is usually called reification)
