You are in the US? In Norway it typically happens within the same day but my bank (SBanken.no) also offers instant transfers to other banks even at the weekend.
If both sender and recipient use a mobile phone service like Vipps then the recipient also receives the money immediately (within seconds) regardless of whether they use the same bank. I think similar services exist in other countries too.
Our banks have those, and it's a really shitty experience.
Yeah, sure, e-bank works, you pay, but if the person receiving the money is at another bank, that my bank has no extra contract with, I have to wait until the next workday for the funds to be transfered. If I want to buy something with a bank transfer on a friday night, the funds won't get transfered until monday morning.
