      Here in the US it’s only instant if it’s coming out of your account.

      If it’s coming out of the bank’s account

      Can you please explain the difference here, because that doesn’t make sense to me. When am I ever transferring money out of the banks account instead of mine?

        My comment was worded in an intentionally inflammatory way for sarcasm and humor. Poking fun at this pester charging for everything culture.

        To answer your question though.

        The point of view of the leveraging bank money, a loan, credit, refund.

        To be fair, general banking has gotten a lot faster in both directions. So my snark is marginal at best.

      What bank do you have that charges $35 for a transfer?

      I transfer between b of a and chase bank, both known for having decently high fees, without any of those fees.

      The $35 amount I’ve only seen with overdrafting. Do you overdraft every single transfer?

            Bruh… the entire comment. 7 to 45 days… really? Gratuity… in a bank app?

              From Rocket Mortgage, a banking app.

              “Overall, the average time to close on a mortgage – the amount of time from when the lender receives your application to the time the loan is disbursed – is 52 days, according to Ellie Mae. Conventional loans had the shortest turnaround times at 51 days, followed by FHA loans at 55 days and VA loans at 57 days.”

      This is what banking looks like if you are poor, unfortunately.

      Those cash checking places are fucking evil. Then the payday loan companies with usury…
