Email Money Transfers

Post by darthmunky »

Does anyone do this? I just did it for the first time but the person I sent the money to said they didn't receive an email. Does it take a while to send? My bank site says the email was sent.

I do it frequently -- to myself, lol. It's the cheapest and easiest way to transfer money between banks. :p

It generally takes about 4h or so for the e-mail to come in my experience.

Now if you're referring to an e-mail MONKEY transfer like your subject says, I'm afraid I have less experience in that area. :lol:

Monkey transferring is one of the hardest things you have to do with your bank. First, the most important step is to restrain the monkey. I personally use duct tape for all monkey transactions. Preferrably, you should tape the monkey's hands behind its back. That way, it has no way to effectively throw its feces at the bank teller. Bringing in a monkey like that will only succeed in making you look unprofessional. Second, be sure to bring the monkey a cage or dog kennel. This makes it easier for the bank to stack monkeys in their monkey containment vault for future monkey-related needs. A lot of people don't know that by using your own cage, you can avoid that expensive and unnecessary monkey restocking fee that your bank would normally charge. Finally, you should ALWAYS opt for whatever monkey insurance your bank may offer. It is only 20 bananas a year, and will fully reimburse you in the event of a disaster that results in the loss of your monkey. They can get you a new monkey of equal or lesser value in a matter of days, depending on your bank. By following these tips, you can ensure that your next monkey transferral will be as painless as it can be.

The title now says Money transfers, which made me wonder if I was crazy for having seen monkey before. Glad to see that other people have documented that for me.

I do it frequently through Canadian banks. It does take usually about 2-4 hours for the person I'm sending the money to, to receive the email. It's the only way I send money to people.

Edit: Oh Just noticed you are also in Canada. What bank are you using?

I didn't realize you were such a whiz when it comes to monkey related transactions lisalover.

Do you do consulting? I've recently become involved in a lot of trading involving monkeys as well as a variety of other primates and apes. I'd appreciate some one on one advice.
