if you think crypto UX is bad, wait till you try sending/receiving a wire transfer it would be hard to conceive of a more opaque, unfriendly, and inefficient system for sending funds

the fact that I can’t use an app to send a wire transfer in the year 2025 blows my mind on a regular basis you must physically present yourself at a bank branch and speak with a teller who is 23 years old

then you’ll be grilled on who and why you’re sending the funds to, you pay $50 and so does the recipient, and you wait 2-5 business days

My bank lets me submit an online form Honestly better experience than an ACH, at least it goes through relatively quickly

Well an old school wire, no. But there is Interac e-transfer for domestic wires in Canada. They’re near instant and the low fees ($1,50 or so per tx) are usually covered by the bank. Internationally the best (non-crypto) option is Wise. Cost is relatively low, it’s fast (a few hours compared to wires many days), and recipient can receive in their preferred funds and spend immediately.
