Sir, – Conor Kennedy (June 20th) makes an excellent point regarding the excessive length of time taken by our banks to process electronic payments and transfers. I paid my credit card bill online recently. The money was taken immediately from my bank account (of course), but was not credited to my credit card bill until five days later. When I queried this with the bank, I was told that it was because of the weekend in between payment and credit to my account. Irish banks must be the only ones in the world that give their computers the weekend off! – Yours, etc,
