Awesome! So basically, it's IBAN transfer or nothing. That transfer is a remnant of a pre-Internet era, when the fastest communication literally was wiring (aka using a telegraph). I can't wait to see something fast and easy... but seeing how much the banks profit from this for basically nothing, I can see how it will not happen in the short time.
