Why do apps/banks like Cashapp, Venmo, and Apple Pay charge a fee for instant transfers?

Is it something that takes more labor or tech and therefore they charge? How is transferring from a bank in one to three days different from transferring right away, if they’re similar by method?

Because an instant transfer is technically them loaning you money until the actual transfer goes through the multiple day clearing process on the backend.

It is a high interest, short-term loan. Very similar to a payday loan.
