BTW, every since the checking account has existed, people have
depended on the time for a check to clear. That is coming to an end

account and credited to the payee almost instantly. It's this way in
some areas now, but it's becoming universal.

STILL 'anti-float'....

Whereas many other places on the planet have been doing electronic check
clearing for years and years... and years. Banking systems in the US are
archaic, dinosaurs...
