When dealing with money, nobody wants to spend time waiting around - we’ve all got better things to do than waste time with slow financial processes or waiting in queues. We could all be doing something much more productive and interesting!

This is especially true for money transfers. Some providers have painfully slow processes, and it sometimes seems that your money will never arrive!
