Articles seem to imply that it can work in complement to zelle, so that may extend it’s reach quite a bit, no?
Why would a for-profit banking institution actively advertise for something that will affect its bottom line (e.g. transfer fees)..?
Obviates old-fashioned wires I suppose but those are rare and fee sometimes waived. Probably save money by reducing employee headcount.
A system like that exists in Europe already, banks operate for profit there too.
