Credit card networks can vary regionally even under the same brand names (like MC/Visa). They are not ubiquitous. Depending on the network the merchant is using, they may or may no…

Probably because the party doing the ACH is a third party agent/ISO but the checks are probably cashed directly by the management company. The thing that your management company pr…

Yeah, the only good use cases I heard for wanting real time payments had to do with businesses not wanting to keep cash reserves on site at all times. The two I recall were (1) in …

Snarky answer - there's no real motivation to change it and from an institutional perspective it's not broken. - it costs a lot to fix or redesign a money system moving billions of…
