   It might, but it sounds like a good move in the right direction. While I've lived in the US almost my whole life, I spent a year in Singapore that was really refreshing to see good, functional services from the government. I understand it's difficult to compare the two situations, but it made me want that.

   I feel like something like this with existing options (i.e. Zelle) give the government a "trial" run at providing a service and improve on it which gives me optimism and hope that we can do more of this.
