What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A real-time transaction status dashboard that provides dynamic updates based on actual bank clearing times rather than static estimates.
  2. A notification system that alerts users immediately when a transaction delay occurs, explaining the specific reason for the hold.
  3. A transparent 'processing speed' comparison tool that shows users the expected vs. actual completion times for different transfer methods.
  4. A third-party dashboard that tracks real-time transaction status across internal bank accounts to verify if transfers are actually processed.
  5. A browser extension that logs and timestamps customer support chat sessions to provide evidence of abandonment for regulatory complaints.
