After Zelle's rollout I have zero trust in Bank's ability to combat fraud in a consumer friendly matter unless they're required by laws with teeth to do so.

There is no way in hell I'd trust this service based on anything I've seen so far.

At least with a debit card you have Visa's limited fraud protection in most cases.

There are billions of dollars of unnecessary interchange fees being paid and in play, so while there might be consumer hesitancy, there are overriding forces.

Every major US cellular carrier requires you to pay with ACH now if you want your autopay discount, for example. Little economic nudges work. Surcharge the credit cards and let customers self select to payment rails based on their needs.

(FedNow has a closed loop fraud management system, and Reg E likely applies: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/100...)
