Bank Financial Transaction Delays

[Pokerface]

In this day and age of technology I have difficulty in understanding why some transactions take so long between banks and other financial organizations such as credit cards.

For example, an online bank transaction was made April 18th to a credit card. Because of Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Easter Monday (Canada) no transactions are processed and as of April 23 nothing. Why are transactions delayed over holidays and weekends? I would understand if people were required but these are simple electronic transactions.

Seems like some banks are still living in the past. Just a little rant. LOL

And making a tidy amount from interest...

TD has been playing games with me recently ,I cashed out $9000 from ecopayz and a day later cashed out another $1300,the $1300 was received 24 hours later and took 10 days to get the larger one.

Sometimes the banks just sit around not doing anything about it and waiting until the last minute, making life hard for their customers. They need to set their priorities straight.

Yes, that's really a joke in today's times. Had the same issue: wanted to send a payment on April 18 and due to Eastern (Friday + Monday) the money only arrived Tuesday.

On the other hand, I did a SEPA payment today and within 1 hour it arrived at the receiving party (in another country).
