Hey folks,

We have one of those savings accounts that only give bonus interest if you make five debit card transactions in a month.

Turns out we miscounted and only did four this month and need to find somewhere that will process the payment in the next three hours.

Is there anywhere that can process a transaction that quickly? Woolworths didn't, and I read that iTunes takes a bit of time. Is there any store that will process faster or have I just lost some money

Thanks for your help.

  i though if you insert or swipe the card, select savings it will process instantly.

    I headed straight down to Woolies to try it, only to discover it had to be a Visa Debit purchase. But thank you.

    It may work on a business day before 3 or 4pm.

  BPay counts for Virgin Money. Why not mention bank? ING?

    Would that be processed instantly on Visa Debit, though? Seems Great Southern Bank is a bit strict.

  Go to a petrol station and buy some chips.

    This is good advice even if you don't need another debit transaction.
