In Australia we've had free next business day transfers for as long as I can remember. Decades.
Transfers that clear in seconds are a relatively recent addition. It didn't happen overnight, it happened gradually as bottlenecks were removed from the infrastructure. Some transactions were instant a couple decades ago, but it's only in the last few years that most transactions are instant here.
