You should do some research on the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. It's how most bank transfers are done. Most ACH transactions will likely move over to FedNow as it's implemented. I believe both systems do account to account transfer, fed now is just faster and settled instantly, while ACH takes a couple days to settle.

FedNow is more of an extension to ACH than a replacement for it.
Same-day ACH also exists, although it's relatively new. FedNow is faster than same-day ACH though.
