Internal bank transfers disappear with no recovery mechanism

Electronic transfers between two accounts at the same bank can vanish in transit with the bank acknowledging a system glitch but offering no timeline or process for recovery. Despite the transfer completing on the sender's side, the funds never appear in the recipient account and customer service cannot locate them. Military families and others dependent on these transfers face immediate financial hardship with no escalation path.
