Actually, if you pay attention, it probably only takes your bank a few uS to debit your account when you write a check. It takes 5 days to credit it when you receive one.
A perfect example of asymmetric processing :)

All this fuss over microseconds being worth billions and it still takes a
bank 5 days to find out if the check I wrote is good?
Where's a good manure scoop when you need one?
