Bank-native instant transfer, made safer by consent.
Worked backwards from Zelle's real business — operated by Early Warning Services and owned by seven of the largest US banks, it moves well over a trillion dollars a year in real-time person-to-person transfers across ~2,300+ financial institutions, directly between bank accounts. Zelle's superpower is settling money instantly and bank-native. 🤫's superpower is making the consent behind a transfer explicit, tamper-evident, and revocable. This is our proposal to make agent-initiated instant payments safer — by making consent legible with a receipt (PCHP) for every authorized transfer.
Written from public information. A proposal in pursuit — no announced deal exists; Zelle / Early Warning Services is not a current partner, shareholder, or investor of ours.
