I have a bank account with Santander Bank. I received a domestic wire into my bank account in connection with a purchase of residential real estate. When I tried to wire the funds out of the bank to finish the transaction, I was told that I would have to wait 3 business days in order to access the money. The purpose of a wire is so that the funds are clear once they clear the Federal Reserve. I feel that making me wait 3 business days to have access to money wired into my bank account is illegal and unethical. The funds should be available once they are received by the Bank ; once received by the bank they should be put into my account and be immediately accessible. The bank is doing this to make money off of other people 's money.
