I think their data could be confused by the concurrent rise in smartphone ownership and apps like Venmo and Cashapp making cash movements in/out of bank accounts no longer as relevant. How much "cash" enters the Venmo/Cashapp environments and just stays there? You wouldn't see as much banking activity around cash and bank transfers because now whole economies exist outside of those institutions, inside untracked apps.

Venmo and Cashapp do not operate in Canada

TIL
Are the Canadian Venmo/Cashapp alternatives tracked like other banking?

In Canada we have eTransfers which are directly moving funds from one bank account to another, via email or text messages. It's all done within the bank apps, so yeah I imagine it's fully tracked.
As a Canadian I'm completely unaware of any 3rd party apps that move money around without tracking. Stuff like that typically ends up being done via crypto.
eTransfers are ubiquitous for money, there's zero competition.

That's the standard in New Zealand too, is it not possible in the US?

2-3 business days - source: trying to close my Chase account since I opened a credit union one and I’m still waiting on my money to transfer (my chase account is at zero now) to my new account 2 days later.

Also one thing to add, etransfers in Canada are unlimited and free. The banks likely implemented this to combat cash apps
