I’m not a huge fan of electronic fund transfters. I would go as far as to say they suck. They don’t suck as badly as cheques but still, I put one on Thursday morning I think it was and am waiting on it now. I think they say 3 working days so I am hoping it will arrive tomorrow.
Still though – that’s like 5 days I will have been waiting which is just silly considering I processed it via the internet, the land where you can do everything instantly. Why does it take them so long to process a simple transfer of my money from one account to another.
Once it’s transfered from my savings account to my student account I then need to move it from my student account to my credit card account so I can actually buy my new computer. I’m hoping that won’t take days as in theory I could just draw it out of one account and pay it straight into another. That is, if HSBC actually had any staff which they don’t in most branches – they have customer service people but no clerks in both branches in town which is just crap. I really need to switch to Halifax.
