Here in the US it’s only instant if it’s coming out of your account.

If it’s coming out of the bank’s account

Can you please explain the difference here, because that doesn't make sense to me. When am I ever transferring money out of the banks account instead of mine?

My comment was worded in an intentionally inflammatory way for sarcasm and humor. Poking fun at this pester charging for everything culture.

To answer your question though.

To be fair, general banking has gotten a lot faster in both directions. So my snark is marginal at best.
