iDEAL solved it for countries that participate. For countries that don’t, sadly there’s no good first party solution. Revolut and Transferwise are much better alternatives to paypal tho.
In my case and some others, it’s because zelle has a hair-trigger fraud detection algorithm that has frequent false positives that cause huge headaches. It could be excellent but it’s just okay. No one trusts it with substantial sums of money.

International money transfer (with currency exchange) But also I don’t want to give some random website my credit card

We have Zelle, but no one uses it.
