Traditionally banks have been a pain, but I vaguely remember that prodded by Dutch consumer groups the relevant part of the Eurocracy put its foot down and started requiring that intra-EU (and intra-EEA I think) transactions be completed within 24 hours just a couple of years back. Worked wonders for the speed of interbank transactions here in .no at least. - P -- Peter N. M.
