Are you equating Zelle to Faster Payments? No offense, but I really don't think you know enough about payments clearing if you are making such a statement.



Lol having spent 7 years at a major bank in the R&D space, I know quite a bit.

It really depends what you mean about payment clearing. With Zelle you can send someone money in a few seconds. I’ve done transactions up to a couple thousand.

That said it doesn’t “clear” immediately if that’s what you mean. Typically, I can use the funds within 3-5 min, so idk seems pretty darn fast.


This seems a reasonable summary and FedNow is stated as being faster to settle than Zelle. https://www.paymentsjournal.com/the-distinctions-between-fas...


Ok but please read up on FedNow so you remain an expert.
