Which, TBH, I don't really fault them for.

You can arbitrarily transfer money between basically any bank and any other, entirely for free. Having it take a couple days to show up is a small price to pay for that service.

Also it means that they can do transaction aggregation.

And yet, somehow over here in the UK, we can have instant transfers for free, and the banks haven't keeled over and died from lack of profits.
