The Fed charges 400x more for instant funds transfers than the ECB. And Wells Fargo charges 12,500x more… What’s the point of a “free market” if basic services are expensive?

To be fair, the Fed does have discounts available for wire transfers. Drops from $0.84 to $0.165 if you have over 90k transfers per month. Still 80x ECB. They do use an interesting incentive scheme if your volume is above average. Still 16x ECB. https://www.frbservices.org/resources/fees/wires-2020.html …pic.twitter.com/6czhpFDOyx
