Payment timescales explained
-
We don't process certain types of payments on weekends or bank holidays. These include:
- Direct Debits
- Standing orders
- Cheques
- Future-dated payment requests.
If a payment is due on a non-working day, we'll try to make it on the next working day.
-
We'll try to make the payment shortly after midnight on the due date. If you don’t have enough money in your account at that time, we'll 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 in branch.
For standing orders and future-dated payments only
If there still isn't enough money in your account at 2.30pm, we'll try one last time on the next working day. Then we'll reject the 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.
If you're worried about your finances or struggling to manage your money, we'd like to help.
