Doing A Favour For A Friend
Last night, I renewed my friend’s domain name, as I’d originally registered it and it’s easier for me to do.
He then needed to pay me twenty four pounds, so late last night, he sent me a direct transfer to my bank account.
it was duly there this morning, when I checked my bank account.
But all the statement said, was that it was a credit of the requisite amount, labelled as just a credit.
As it was, I obviously knew what it was, so there was no problem. But surely in this day and age of good computer systems, that the banks could add a bit more detail to the statement, as soon as the money arrives.
The banks could actually use fully annotated statements as a marketing and selling point for their services.
But they don’t! No wonder people don’t like banks.
What a wunch of bankers!

Your friend probably had the opportunity to put in a description but decided not to bother as you would know what it was.

There’s usually a field to show what the credit is for – maybe he left it blank. When I transfer money between my HSBC accounts I can label them as CASH, CAR etc.

He didn’t put a description, but my bank is very light on description, as I suppose they all are!
