You ask the teller to make a transfer between your accounts. She says it will take 5 to 7 business days. She had to fill out a carbon copy form. In seven days, it's not done and when you go to ask they want to at what branch did you make your request. The money is missing in your account but it's not transferred to the new account. They are waiting to see if you have any proof of the transaction. Do you have proof of your €10 deposit? Yes I do. I made a pdf copy and sent it to Europol. Now you do it instantly with the new technology. You made your deposit and you get your proof with account statement right away; no human labor required. The bank has no doubt where the money is. It is evidenced on the books and the statement. They used to have problems with tellers that would "hold" the deposit in their coats if you forgot to ask for a receipt or an update to your bank book. When you come back to ask, the manager wants to know if you had the tellers name or if you could describe them.
