@futurebird @craiglambie42 transfer of funds outside the US is much smoother, whereas here in the US wire transfers between people are a BFD that seems to require paperwork. Checks are not a thing in Europe, for example. I.e., the missing services, are speed, and flexibility. US banks are better at profits, however.

I've been adding most of the videos that I watch to the FediverseTV playlist, I think a lot about how Google has a rich history of the videos that I watch Yet, often people I know have never heard of any of it. -

It's not clear to me that the rest-of-the-world needs such a thing. One useful function that banks provide, and that costs money to implement, is some amount of fraud detection/correction; sooner or later someone will use a payment system for fraud and/or crime.
