Australian banks have introduced plastic cards so we can use EFTPOS, have
ATM access and Internet banking where you can pay bills, even transfer money
and we have all been told this is for our convenience.
Recently I was paid by electronic transfer.
Understanding that all this technology was for the convenience of us as
customers and thinking that also meant it would speed up transactions like
this one I had suggested that they electronically transfer the money rather than
sending a cheque.
Imagine my surprise to discover that the money wasn’t in my bank account when
I received the email that I had been paid.
If they have paid me and I don’t have that money who has it?
So I contacted the two banks involved and confirmed that the money that had
already been electronically transferred out of one account but because it had
been paid on a Saturday it would be Wednesday before I saw the money in my
account.
In the meantime where is that money?
It is on the short term money market and the bank is making money with my money.
........Turn It Up.
