Instant payment bank transfer

So far only the HypoVereinsbank has offered this service, now the savings banks are following and more will follow.

If this is widespread throughout Europe, this might be a good alternative for deposits on e-wallets or in online casinos, since the money is credited in seconds.

Here's a report on it:

Anyway, I'm surprised that normal bank transfers sometimes take days. Today they are all recorded electronically and are executed in seconds. In my opinion, the fact that banks are still working with their own money for days is no longer legally compliant.

Yes, that's annoying and now the banks are already announcing fees for the fast transfers, sometimes even before they even offer the service. 🙄
