I am currently disputing an international payment and wire transfer (or walking/driving my happy ass to their office and paying cash) is the only method allowed by the lawyer representing me. That's at least one occasion you are not accounting for (a foreign entity that needs the equivalent of cash to proceed)

Right, but it’s likely a law firm you’re wiring to, not an individual.

The GP was saying they use wire transfers between friends day-to-day which isn’t the case in the US.

To clarify: they only take wire transfers and not ACH debit/credit? This seems highly unusual.

They accept ACH. Timing doesn’t allow for ACH to be useful. I could have showed up and handed them cash but would have cost 3x the wire fees!
