Why does a bank payment takes a long time to be received, especially if there is a weekend in the middle?
In: 123
If you’re speaking about a bill pay service, if the receiver has a bank that accepts electronic transfers, the payment usually goes through in 2-3 days. If they do not, then your bank has to print a check and put it in the mail, at which point it is reliant on the postal service, which does not operate on Sundays, and if the receiver is not open on Saturdays, than that will add to the weekend lag time.
