Most digital payments today aren’t what they seem.
When you tap your card or send money online, the funds don’t move right away. What actually moves is a series of promises between banks, processors, and networks… all set to settle later.
This isn’t something most people are told.
But once you see it, it makes sense.
You don’t need to be technical to understand how money works.
Just curious enough to ask,
Was this a payment, or just a promise?
