Am I missing something here? The winning play is just not having the instant feature or at very least making it an “and also take out a loan” button. Then you have a $0 balance until your transfer settles and then it’s positive. No weirdness.

You can’t blame people for their ignorance when you present them a fiction. If your cute little abstraction leaks then don’t do it.



Insufficient abstraction-- failing to hide the loan ahead of settlement-- was previously blamed for one of their users committing suicide...


They should be tagging the loan and pending settlements (like every bank does when you deposit a check!) not hiding it.
