I got around the delay by temporarily adding my CU account to the Barclay online account and making the payment via pull from Barclay's instead of push from my CU account. That only took two days, after which I deleted the CU account access from my Barclay account.
Very interesting. I will definitely initiate the pull from Barclays side from our checking account.
On a side note not related to this regarding a check, I had an interesting thing happen a couple of weeks ago.
I went online and ordered about $60 of dog treats and saw the option of ‘ACH - Draft from Account’, which I selected for the hell of it over a debit/credit card, thinking it would be withdrawn within a day or so.
Fast forward about two weeks and the charge finally posts/drafts from our bank account and when I go investigate it, I kid you not, something happened behind the scenes that caused all this rigamarole to go around and end the end, my bank sent a check to the vendor. I was able to see the cashed check coly and signatures.
Hadn’t had that happen in a coon’s age. Now, I do physically send out several checks a monthfor various bills and obligations, but this one was just strange.
cheers
for listening to my rant.
