 | Hi all
I have a Woolworths Ezy Bank account. I would contact support but I forgot about daylight saving and then I remembered here.
The question is what is the quickest and most reliable method of a third party to deposit money into an Woolworths Ezy Bank (supported by Commonwealth Bank). Is it
a) Direct deposit by internet banking - heard delays of 1-2 business days
b) Deposit at Woolworths/Big W etc - not possible by third party - needs cards
c) **Deposit Over the Counter ** at CBA Branch - I'm not sure is this possible?
As the subject states this is for ebay and is really time sensitive as it is for an event that is on in a few days. I would like to have confirmation of payment before sending it off. This type of event attracts non-conventional types, who may be say less then reliable :P. Not to say it doesn't attract well heeled geeks though.
Thanks for your help

Over the counter or direct deposit can still take 2 days sometimes, you are
at the mercy of the banking system and how busy they are.
So allow 2 business days and be done with it.

On a similar note, my penultimate boss told me a tale of getting a
cheque cleared just before the new 3 working day rule came in. They
told him it would be 5 working days, but if he brought it in the next
working day it would only take 3. Who makes the short term money off
these funds, the joint clearing house or the banks?
Cheers,
Anil

The funds are credited to your account as soon the cheque is processed,
but only become available to you when it clears. (This should be
clearly shown in your account balance if you check it online or at an
ATM.) If your account pays interest, then you get the interest on it
during that 3-day period.
Since most transaction accounts these days pay either zero interest or
a token rate, your question is perhaps best directed towards all those
saps out there who lend their cash to their bank - and then pay the
bank fees for the priviledge. That makes 3 days look pretty innocuous.

If any of the options are used, you should wait until you see the money
in the account before sending off the goods, I have used Internet
banking quite a bit and if it is done before 3PM (on a weekday) with my
bank (Bendigo), the money usually appears in the other bank's account
sometime after 7PM that evening.
