The UK already has faster payments in all major banks. I can send and receive money instantly from app or Web. Will yours be as fast as that?

The UK has a problem with authorised push payment fraud. Banks can recover funds which have been sent as a result of phishing / fraud. How can I reverse a payment on your platform if it was fraudulent?

The UK also has receiver verification. If I try to send to an account and it doesn't match the name I'm sending to, my bank will warn me. How do you stop impersonation?

There's no cost to sending payments on most mainstream banks. How much do you charge?

Most banks let the user block receiving payments from specific accounts. How do you stop harassers sending unwanted money?

Thanks!

First time I read about that, how does this work in practice? A person regularly sends you small amounts such that all you see is their name whenever you log into your bank account?

Amongst other things it's a way to set up a narrative regarding some other fraudulent activity.

If you were regularly recieving money from someone, then it looks like you're in business with them - and you'd have a hard time pricing you're not if they then staged some other activities (i.e. shipping you stolen goods, which they then have stolen from your doorstep by an associate).
