Browser companies can't handle payments unless they decide to pivot to becoming a payments company like PayPal.

The API and standards talk in the article is putting the cart before the horse. There is currently no way to send money peer-to-peer without an intermediary that can handle the bank transfer, and intermediaries tend to charge a lot for this service.
