Simplified Meaning:

This quote is making a joke about the idea of 24-hour banking. It highlights a misunderstanding or humor in the phrase. When a bank says "24-hour banking," it means the bank's services are available all day and night, any time you need them. But the person jokingly pretends that it means you need to spend 24 hours banking, which of course, no one has time for. Imagine someone saying they provide 24-hour fitness classes. It doesn't mean you need to work out for 24 hours straight. It just means the classes are available whenever you want. So, the quote is playing on the funny idea that someone might think they'd need lots of time because they misinterpret the service being available all the time with having to use it all the time. Similarly, in life, it's a reminder to understand what services or offers actually mean instead of taking them too literally or worrying unnecessarily.
