Perhaps in your country. Not in mine. Number only no names.

Yes. What a lot of Americans don’t realise is that in other countries, bank account numbers are standardised to include pre-defined bank and branch information. In a sense, account number includes what americans think of as routing number.

People trade bank account numbers like business cards. Businesses post their account numbers for payment. Even a flyer for a local school fundraiser will have an account number listed on it. If you buy something from someone, the seller tells you his account number. You log into your bank and transfer the funds instantly, whether it’s $10 or $10000. You don’t need to know anything except the recipient’s account number.

It’s free. It’s painless. It’s interconnected. It’s bank agnostic. The movement of small monies between individuals should not be commoditised.

The sensible alternative is when banks allow instant free transfer of funds from your account to any other account regardless of which bank or recipient.

Imagine if you lived in a country with a banking system so modern, that nobody needed Paypal or Venmo.
