Transferring Money Between Banks Takes Forever

Technology is an amazing thing, isn't it? Just think of all the things we can do today that we couldn't do ten years ago... or even just five years ago! With all of this fantastic innovation, why in the world does it take several days to transfer money between bank accounts? Online savings accounts make it possible to earn higher interest than most of your traditional banks, but it comes at a price - waiting anywhere from two to seven business days to receive the money when you transfer it from one account to another.
