Account-to-account refers to direct transfers of funds between bank accounts without intermediary payment networks. This method streamlines financial transactions by eliminating third-party processors. In digital asset contexts, it signifies direct fiat transfers to and from crypto exchanges, often leveraging faster payment systems for quicker settlement. Such direct transfers enhance efficiency and reduce costs associated with traditional payment channels.
