If it all goes through, due to the convenience level, how willing would you be to use Facebook to transfer money in between friends instead of using mobile pay/venmo/swish/etc

Youre right. Real time tranaction is simply what The bankers here in denmark called it. Shows the level of mis-mash between expectations from consumers and the financial sector (in my country at least)

Actually just read a few talks by danes in the financial council in Denmark. They are currently reconstructing the entire payment infrastructure to allows realtime transfers of payments. For payments under $100.000, transfers are done three times a day, as is seen with services such as MobilePay (Venmo wannabe) that i believe are considered a e-money institution.
If anyone is interested then i can provide the links to the slides. They are, however, in danish.

EU is currently working on changing that, inside eu at least.
Their proposal can be read here: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheprocedure.do?...
