why we still have “banking hours”

465 viewsOtherTechnology

Want to pay your bill Friday night? Too bad, the transaction will go through Monday morning.
In 2024, why, its not like someone manually moves money.

EDIT: I am not talking about BRANCH working hours, I am talking about time it takes for transactions to go through.

EDIT 2:
I am NOT talking about send money to friends type of transactions. I’m talking about example: our company once fcked up payroll (due Friday) and they said: either the transaction will go through Saturday morning our you will have to wait till Monday. Idk if it has to do something with direct debit or smth else. (No it was not because accountant was not working weekend)

Not answering the question as it is already properly explained.

But it depends on where you are. In Europe (at least at the most of it) we have Instant SEPA. Which works 24/7.

I think there are similar stuff for some other countries as well. Actually a lot of countries had them.

You would assume USA will be one of the best countries on banking but somehow isn’t.
