What counts as a bank transfer?

Okay, so you want me to jazz this up and make it sound more like a real person talking about the joys (and pains!) of bank transfers, right? Let’s give it a shot:

“So, what actually counts as a bank transfer, huh? I mean, you’d think it’d be straightforward, wouldn’t you? But honestly, the whole thing feels like a giant, confusing mess sometimes! Like, I get that paying bills online definitely falls under that category, right? And don’t even get me STARTED on taxes – those are always a bank transfer nightmare. But then you start thinking about it… is sending money to my sister for her birthday a bank transfer too? I guess so?

Honestly, for me, anything that involves me having to shuffle money from one account to another, hoping and praying it doesn’t vanish into the ether, feels like a bank transfer. Like, is it ACH? Is it EFT? Is it going to take three business days? Who even KNOWS?! The technicalities? Ugh, they kinda just blur together. It’s more about that general feeling of anxiety, y’know? The constant worry that you’ve put in the wrong account number or something and your money is just going to be lost forever. Has that ever happened to you? It’s happened to me, and let me tell you, it is NOT fun. You end up on the phone with the bank, pulling your hair out… not a good look! So yeah, that’s my take on bank transfers. More stress than they’re worth, most of the time, I reckon.”
