An impatient user indeed, if already-written checks or automatic drafts from the account are pending.
Seriously though, this points to a special case which we might call "end-of-flow". If all required info for the transaction has been keyed in, short term memory needs only to retain awareness that a confirmation notice remains needed.
Likely next user actions are:
1. Switch to an unrelated task,
2. Check back after a few minutes for the transfer verification,
3. Close the page of the now timed-out session.
