This is pretty standard practice here in the UK, and I guess much of the rest of Europe. I doubt if I write more than half a dozens cheques (checks) a year now and they are shortly to be phased out altogether by the banking system here. I can, in most cases, transfer money from my account to someone else's and the money is often there in the other account in a matter of hours and two days at most.
Life is getting easier for some, but I feel sorry for some of the older folks with no ready access to the internet. 73 Stephen G4SJP On 4 June 2011 00:29, Brian Linn <[email protected]> wrote: > All: > > > > In seeing some discussion on the exchange of funds when selling Electraft > equipment, I wanted to share a possible solution with everyone: Dwolla.
