Is that uptime [Flickr's] acceptable to a bank?
I would love a Flickr-like bank. Banks are only open about 8 hours out of 24, and (at least here in NZ) even when I do an online money transfer, it only goes through in their batch that midnight. I would love a front-end to our bank system that did things right, especially instant and easy transfers.
I guess you could say PayPal tries to do this, but you have to get money in and out of PayPal, and they have high fees.
- ericd 17y agoYeah, I've only ever found one bank that had a web interface that let you do immediate transfers 24/7 between accounts and credit cards. Unfortunately it's a 2 branch credit union 300 miles from where I now live, but I still hang onto that account just because. I know they're not playing with a lot of resources, so I'm always amazed at how much better they are at doing EVERYTHING than Chase, etc.
