Despite banks not being open on Sundays, why don't ACH/Transfers proceed as normal? It's called Automated Clearing House for a reason.
Genuinely curious.

I've always wondered this as well

Because they can get away with it. Niggers hardly keep the buildings opened during normal hours anyways.
likely technological limitations, sure it would be possible but it would just be too expensive. there would need to be a major increase in demand for 7 day processing.
when you're dealing with a system as large as ACH you're going to be working with some of the biggest databases in the world, and those databases are business critical so they can't be neglected.
generally backups and such are done in nightly batch cycles, but all the maintenance and updates happens over the weekend.

Hiring some IT monkeys to babysit ACH batch processing over the weekend wouldn't be that expensive.
The real reason is that there's no overwhelming demand for it. Markets are closed, businesses are closed, government is closed. If there's no compelling need to spend money on Sundays, there's no compelling need to make deposits effective on Sundays.
If/when culture changes to a seven-day work work, then people will demand that bank transfers credit on Sundays.

I think you underestimate how cheap banks are. anything more than $0 is expensive.
but yeah that basically what I said. without an increase in demand for 7 day processing there's no reason to do it.
