You make the transfer of information twofold. Your bankcard carries a record of its account balance along with you. As you conduct business from one world to the next your bankcard is updated. And records of these transactions get sent back to your bank along the mail route (traders can carry mail too) to your bank.
In the interest of saving time, this is how I do it: www.dedzone.net/traveller/rules/money.html
How does the bank get in touch with you? You set up mailboxes on the worlds you frequent the most so that the bank can send updated transactions while you're out and about. When you arrive at a starport, your bankcard checks your mail for bank statements and updates itself with these new transactions.

The xboat network is a web, we can assume that there are a number of xboats at every hub but probably not enough to hit every star within J 6 every day of the year. This you're going to end up with lag between systems within J6 that could end up being days or even weeks.
