I agree with Mime... if she's paying you from her personal savings it doesn't matter where her bank is, it wouldn't take more than five working days.
I would cut directly to a more formal kind of discussion with her. It sounds like the conversation has already got heated so from now stick to written communication only.
It might be worth emailing her to say that you have been made aware that she has been complaining elsewhere about having to pay you personally (so that she knows that her conversations go full circle back to you and that she should watch what she says), remind her that it was her idea to pay you personally, remind her calmly that you have been waiting for payment since xx.xx.xx and it is now xx weeks/months late... remind her that you acted professionally and in a timely fashion to meet both her expectations and her deadlines... advise her that you have emails on file that confirm they approved the work and appreciated the work, and advise her that you simply ask her for the same professional courtesy as you showed her back in April/May in return.
I would email her and ask that she only communicates in writing from now on. If she calls you, make notes of what is said and then send her an email "Just to confirm the points that we discussed just now in the phone call".
If it goes legal, notes made (timed and dated) will help you.
