We are talking 10s bank transfers here in EU, how much faster do you want it?

I would not feel at ease walking around with 10k€

In fact I would find it extremely suspicious if someone told me it's their preferred method to get paid. I would totally expect a mugging.

I'm always taking the wire transfer any day of the week. Nowadays, I generally straight up refuse payment in cash. Far too much of a hassle to handle. I think there is a major cultural divide between some parts of Europe and the USA on this subject which is partially due to how behind its time the USA banking system used to be.

I would not. I don't want to be concerned with whether any of this is fake money or how to detect it and hugely prefer an electronic transfer.

If someone would offer me 10k in cash instead of a bank transfer I would assume they are a criminal anyway...

nonsense - if i get cash i will have to deposit it myself. I suppose that part comes depending how cashless the society has gone.

You must be very slow using your phone.
