Faster Payments & Standing Orders
What are the timescales?
They will normally reach the destination account by the end of the next working day. On occasions, payments could take longer as they may be subject to further checks and in those circumstances timescales cannot be guaranteed.
The cut-off time for processing these payments is 5pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank holidays), or 1pm on a Saturday at our branches and midnight for payments processed on the internet on any day. Under normal circumstances a Faster Payment should arrive at the destination account the following working day after the transfer was made. However, this is not guaranteed and on occasions the transfer may take longer.
Any charges?
There is no charge for making a Faster Payment or Standing Order.
There is also no charge for the failure of a Standing Order due to insufficient funds in an account. However if you're aware that a payment is due to be debited from your account you should make every effort to ensure that there are sufficient funds available to make the payment.
