A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Isn't that what FedNow is?
Canada has had e-transfer for ages. You can securely transfer cash to anyone in the country using their email address or phone number. If you have auto-deposit enabled it's instant, too.
Oh, and it's free. It only costs money if you use the e-transfer system to request money from someone (for obvious reasons.) And even then, it's only like $1ish.
The US not having a system like that is frankly ridiculous.
