I'm curious, why exactly do I have to pay a fee for electronic transfers? It seems like a straightforward and efficient way to move money around, so why is there a cost associated with it? Is it just a standard banking practice, or are there specific factors that contribute to the fee? It would be great if you could shed some light on this topic and help me understand why e-transfers come with a charge.

For Request Money transfers, if a fee is applicable, it is charged to the recipient's account upon acceptance of the request and deposit of the funds.

This means that the sender must have sufficient funds in their account to cover both the transfer amount and any applicable fee.
