Because they are in business to make a profit (by holding on to your money). Automated clearing house (ACH) “PROCESSING” is purposely opaque and usually unreasonably slow. The “Banks would now have to hire more personnel to keep on running during the weekend” argument is laughable.
If you are making a payment after 6.30pm, on a weekend, or a Bank holiday, the payment will normally leave you account immediately, and be available in the recipient bank account within a few hours. The date displayed when making the payment and on your statement will be the next working day.
You can't use the facility on Sundays and holidays. The immediate payment service, or IMPS, is an instant fund transfer service. If you have the net banking facility, you don't have to register separately for IMPS. Once you initiate the transaction, you are given different options such as NEFT, RTGS and IMPS.
8:00 p.m. ET for next-business-day or 3-business-day transfer. Funds will be received by the recipient's bank either the next business day or within 3 business days. 5:00 p.m. ET for same-business-day (wire) transfer. Funds will be received by the recipient's bank on the same business day.
The receiving banks often take 2-4 days for funds to be released to customers because they are following what they call the “”three-day good funds model”, which basically means they'll hold the funds for three days to make sure it's not a fraudulent transaction.
When you see the status “transfer completed”, it means that we've handed over the money to your recipient's bank. Most banks credit the money to the receiving account quite quickly, but some take up to 24 hours. Your recipient will need to contact their bank for further information.
You can send as much as £250,000 in a single Azimo transfer when you pay by bank transfer. If you're paying by debit or credit card, you can transfer up to £12,000. Some banks set their own limits, so you may need to ask your recipient to check before you make the transfer.
Azimo works with local partners that process all cash pick-up transfers on our behalf. Simply choose 'Cash pick-up' as the delivery method and then choose the pick-up provider. Once your payment has been processed, both you and the recipient will receive an update with cash pick-up instructions.
