This might be the measurable "some" non deceptive time saving, whereas most of it is still deceptive in terms of time saved

I have noticed ssri withdrawal causes suicidal ideation but not enough to go through with it. It's like it causes the thoughts but not the action from thoughts.

Payday loans are in the same category but in terms of predatory financial options i feel as though they are a million times worse. I even question how apps like Dave work on this type of model.

That's funny. Yes, for me this bizarre PR campaign shows up as promoted content when I scroll through my Google news feed.

Correct. It is called layering when money launderers buy other liquid investment instruments using the illegally placed funds.

Yes. It starts with sanctions on countries. Banks are only just starting to correlate payments that may actually be the same party if they are different physical institutions/entities, down to the legal entity (LEI).

Yes, for example real time NACHA payment event streams are actually windowed by periods governed by each transaction's exposure to risk and corresponding risk classification windows.

This. They're just "virtual accounts" under a single partner to the bank. If the service groups your payments with some other parties, in some weird mining strategy, then you might have risk. But if your parties grouped together on transactions appear to be cartel money launderers, you can definitely expect some calls from the bank. And the FBI. And your transactions related to that party in any way not to go through. It's a big part of compliance. Neobanks typically take their licenses from very well established banks who trust them and their partners to not expose tons of risk. It's a burgeoning market. They face competitive and regulatory pressures forcing them to strategize on this very well.
