Faster payments & standing orders
What is it?
They will reach the destination account by the end of the next working day.
What are the timescales?
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 no charge also for the first failure of a Standing Order/Direct Debit due to insufficient funds in an account. However this only applies to the first failure of one Standing Order/Direct Debit where there are several set up on an account. A charge of £10 will be made for each subsequent failure. A cap of three Failed Payment Charges (for Standing Orders and/or Direct Debits) applies in a calendar month. This cap will reset each calendar month.
