Yes there is - the banks' desire to hang onto your money and collect the interest on it.  It's been this way all along, which is why electronic transfers 
between banks take three days here - nothing to do with communications, all to do with profits!

As a matter of interest, do you pay charges for your bank account?  If not, where does the bank make its money?
