All this talk of visa and Bitcoin always makes me appreciate the marvel that UPI is: Instant free money transfers to any bank account from any bank account.

Unfortunately both Bitcoin and Visa have highly entrenched incumbents who would never allow this kind of thing to happen.

We have two main Interbank transfer networks in El Salvador:

The state owned one, which is free and takes less than 15 minutes.

The bank owned network, which costs from $0 to $2 depending on the bank and is instant.
