Hey, not sure if you're still paying attention to this post but a bank just failed and FDIC said money will be available no later than Monday morning (i.e. one business day turnaround time). More info...

Again, your case could be an outlier but here's a real working situation that just happened to a pretty big bank with assets of over $200b.

Actually my money is in other banks. I know it is probably an unfounded fear, but . . . people might panic, and when they see this bank close, they will run on their banks, causing a cascade effect.

EDIT, thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

That's exactly what happened and why FDIC was such a big deal when it created. Thankfully it hasn't been put to the test for any massive banks (ex: BofA). I'm glad your money is in other banks and safe though :]

Take care!
