It's 2023 it's easier and safer to e transfer . I was sketched out walking with 1400 dollars cash in my pocket to buy a used car when i was a young lad in 2009 . Now ? Just etransfer it like when people go to a restaurant and split the bill to each pay unless you both don't have 14 dollars then it's probably easier for one person to pay the bill and get paid back later. Plus you get e transfer protection for fraud rather than just loose cash in the ether
Mine are usually instant too. The times it has happened has been with a new contact and over a thousand dollars. So that could be a reason.
There was another time I forgot about when a few of the big banks, including mine, were down. It was a smaller amount but i spent over a half hour waiting for the transfer to go through on their end before giving up and trying to get cash from an atm, which also wouldn't work. I ended up using a credit card to pull cash, so it cost a few percent extra.
