Why is an e-transfer taking so long?

Ugh, waiting for an e-transfer is the worst, right? I swear, sometimes it feels like it takes forever! Why is that?! Well, it could be a few things, you know?

First off, let’s be real, sometimes the internet just… sucks. Like, remember that time I was trying to send money to my sister for concert tickets? My wifi was being so flaky, it took like, an hour! It could be the sender’s internet, or even the person receiving the money having connection issues. So frustrating!

Then there’s the whole security question thing. I mean, I get it, it’s important and all. But honestly, sometimes I completely blank! And if the recipient gets the answer wrong, well, there’s your delay right there. Duh. Make sure they actually know the answer! (Maybe give them a hint beforehand?)

And, of course, typos happen. I’ve definitely messed up an email address or phone number before – who hasn’t? Double-checking never hurts! Even one wrong number can hold things up big time. It’s like sending a letter to the wrong house…it’ll never get there!

Oh! And don’t forget, those things expire! I think it’s usually around 30 days or something? I’ve totally spaced and forgotten about a transfer before, and then poof, gone! So, remind the person to accept it. Like, hey, don’t leave your money hanging! Just a little nudge can save a lot of hassle.
