      Here in the US it’s only instant if it’s coming out of your account.

      If it’s coming out of the bank’s account

      Can you please explain the difference here, because that doesn’t make sense to me. When am I ever transferring money out of the banks account instead of mine?

      This is what banking looks like if you are poor, unfortunately.

      Those cash checking places are fucking evil. Then the payday loan companies with usury…

      What bank do you have that charges $35 for a transfer?

      I transfer between b of a and chase bank, both known for having decently high fees, without any of those fees.

      The $35 amount I’ve only seen with overdrafting. Do you overdraft every single transfer?

                We’re talking about wire transfers, not closing on a mortgage. They take 3-5 days. I pay my loan to Rocket every month

                    No, the entire thread is about wire transfers lol. There’s nowhere on Earth where you can close on your mortgage instantly
