It's getting worse:
Discussion
"Fraud"
My rent can’t be delayed by four days.
This is to invest and earn from the money kept on hold, not to protect the account holders. So…
> Banks have lobbied for permission to take longer to agree to payments
Fuck off. Why are you lobbying to gain greater control of MY money?! Fuck right off.
"banks"
“Fraud”
yup it sure is Mike. Welcome to the unintended consequences of misdirected and overbearing regulation. I find this situation particularly galling as I helped kick-start Faster Payments back in 2003-5. It's subsequent introduction reduced payment times from 3 days to sub 10 seconds for most payments and under 2 hours where there were AMLTF concerns.
Morning Joss, so I need to thank you for my BACS payments going through so quickly.
Cheers 🫂 🍻
