Not entirely sure how different it is in the US but I (UK) can send money from my bank account to a friend's one and he/she gets the money in less than 20 seconds.

But wouldn't you and your friend have to exchange bank account numbers?

An advantage of Square Cash is it uses email as a proxy, and you probably already know your friend's email.

You need to know the sort code / account number you're sending money to which is written on the cards the first time, after that it's already saved in my bank portal and I can just select them
