Getting a new banking charter in the US is hard, but it's straightforward to be a challenger bank in the UK. Jarvis moved (back) to London from SF to start Griffin.
The banks in the US that have APIs tend to focus on large fintech partnerships, so even simple APIs will be expensive compared to a regular bank account. Grasshopper Bank in the US (for example) is one of the few that will do APIs on top of regular commercial bank accounts.
(I work at Treasury Prime, which powers many US banks that do APIs.)

They are good, it's just that 90% of the US banks are not ready for this today.

The alternative everyone brings up is FedNow - slightly more expensive, but it works quickly and operates 24/7. The problem is that FedNow is a Real Time Payment system. Everyone in banking knows that Real Time payments equals Real Time Fraud.

Is this just the downstream effect of Visa’s decoupled debit rules ? https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules...
I know this is not allowed in the USA.

All my exams (but one) were take home with well understand rules of engagement. The one exam that wasn't take hime was a visiting professor who made us take the exam at the same time in our normal meeting room and then the left the room for 3 hours. I don't think any of us cared that it was in that particular room, but it was weird to all take the test at 2pm.

On Lisp is the best Lisp programming book I have ever read. Both PG’s lisp books are great and you can just read those and the CL hyperspec.
On Lisp is out of print, but can be downloaded.
