Banks make bank to bank transfers quicker!

Also an interesting bit at the bottom saying that after 6 days now a cheque is deemed to have cleared absolutely and thus the bank can no longer take the money back off you if the cheque was issued fraudulently!

Nothing about making bank transfers to Eurozone countries cheaper though...

I have to say that I find this all very interesting. It is not as if the banks are physically passing money from one place to another.
I had a big argument with my bank and solicitors when we moved, as I was told it would take two days to do it and would be subject to a handling charge.
I got mega crappy with them, saking why it took two days to press a button on a keyboard. Basically, it is all so they can get a few days interest on the cash and make a bit extra on my money. I pointed out that while the money was in the bank, it is technically mine, therefore the interest is mine, and if I didn't get it, it would technically be theft, and I would  find someone to technically arrest for the the technical theft.
I got the interest back.
Thieving rob dogs! Hate banks, hate solicitors, hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate
I hope that all their undergarments become infested with banker and solicitor hating genital crabs!

I think professional courtesy would stop that, same reason sharks don't bite solicitors  :lol: :lol:
