Good lord
American banking really is in the stone age. I don't think I've seen a cheque in 20 years. As for private banks, in Blighty they all (?) offer 'retail' services that out perform high street offerings.
Incidentally, all high street banking is free in the UK. Only private banks tend to charge for their services.
Yes, it's honestly a joke.
Zelle limits the amount you can send per day, starting at $500, so you can't even necessarily pay your rent in one go the first month.
With Chase, I don't have the ability to do ACH transfers to accounts I don't own (I hear other banks allow free ACH transfers), so if Zelle limit is too low, my only option would be a paid wire...
