Banking Before Computers

Are you sure about that?

More than likely households had only 1 car.

I don't know where you bank but that's certainly not true at my bank. I can go out on a Saturday morning and make a deposit at any branch, from there go to Costco and pay with a debit card, go to the supermarket and buy groceries on my VISA.

When I get home and go online to my bank, all the transactions are listed and the account balances are updated on a weekend day. Only the VISA is delayed on occasion because of the more convoluted path the transaction has to follow.

Not to mention the online bill payer function...

I work in the industry...

It may show up there, but it hasn't been processed unless it's a debit account.
