Kiffmeister’s #Fintech Daily Digest (09/20/2021)

Coinbase now allows instant cash outs of up to $100,000

By integrating with The Clearing House’s new Real Time Payments (RTP) network, Coinbase can now offer customers in the United States with linked banks accounts instant 24/7 withdrawals up to $100,000. Many customers who withdraw funds opt for Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers, which can take up to 5 days to move through the pipes of the traditional financial network. Instant cash outs via RTP let them get their money in seconds, 24/7, without the high costs of uncapped fees. Plus, there are no limits on the number of times they can cash out per day. However, there is a fee of 1.5% of the transaction amount for anything up to $10,000 (anything over $10,000 is a flat fee of $150).
