Faster Payments Service maintenance

Faster Payments Service maintenance

On Saturday 11 February we’ll be upgrading our Faster Payments Service. We’re sorry, but you won’t be able to send or receive payments from 00:00 to 07:30 that day.

Remember, we’ll never call to tell you to move money to another account. And we’ll never send a message with a direct link asking you to log on or enter your personal or banking details.

    Important information for Direct Debits, standing orders, future-dated payments and cheque payments

    What if the due date falls on a weekend or bank holiday?

    If the payment date falls on a non-working day then we will try to make the payment on the next working day.

    What if there isn't enough money in my account?

    We'll try to make the payment shortly after midnight on the due date. If you don’t have enough funds in your account at that time, then we will try again after 2.30pm the same day.

    This gives you the chance to put extra money into your account. The money you pay in needs to be available to use straight away. So you could transfer money from another personal account you have with us or pay in cash over the counter.

    For standing orders and future-dated payments only - if there still isn't enough money in your account at 2.30pm, then we'll try one last time on the next working day, before rejecting the payment.

    If a payment takes you overdrawn (all types of payment)

    If you go overdrawn, you have until midnight to pay money into your account to avoid a daily overdraft fee for that day. Please see our rates and charges for details.
