I used RfP (Request for Payment) today for the first time. It was ~11k USD between IBKR and Chase and the transfer was instant with verification on both sides. It's interesting to see the evolution of payments in the US moving so quickly over the past few years (FedNOW, etc...)




Wait, can't you do that already?!

I'm in my 30s but we've had pretty much instant payments as long as I've had a bank account (20+ years) in the UK.


Not in the US. It’s kinda why paypal, venmo, zelle exist. Filling a gap. Our banking system is quite backwards.

Now try getting mobile signal on most of the underground, something every other metro in the world has had for 20+ years


I don't live in London and rarely go there, but everyone has to use banking...!

Wdym verification on both sides, did the recipient have to do anything? You can't just send money to an account number?

I was transferring to myself (different bank). The message from the sending bank triggered a push notification from the receiving bank which I approved and the money moved instantly. This works for up to $10MM I believe.
