I use a major US bank. They offer $0 wire transfers to EU accounts. Wire goes out same-day.

Would much rather do that than transfer to a crypto exchange, convert to crypto (with fee), send crypto (with fee), exchange crypto on the other end (with fee), and the transfer to other bank.

Alright, can you send some 0 fee, instant money to Cuba, Nepal, Burundi, Bolivia?

That it goes "out" the same day is pretty obvious. That it arrives 1 second later a bit less.
