Wages payment into Lloyds TSB Account

Hi all :)

Quick question, I have changed my bank account from Natwest to Lloyds TSB and this is the first month my wages are due to be paid to new account. I am due to be paid on the 21st November (Monday) and just wondered when this will clear in my account? The reason I ask is that Natwest used to clear the funds on Saturday morning when payment was due on the Monday - am just wondering if this will happen with TSB?

Many thanks,

Jovi x

    Exactly.

    Thought I'd impart a bit of good news to go with Lokolo's snappy response! ;)

    OP : I'm interested to know why you decided to change from NatWest to Lloyds TSB if you do not know the differences in how the two banks operate ?

    Shouldn't this type of thing have been part of your research before making the switch not after.

  • OK, thanks, it's no big deal either way was just curious :)

    BAA1: As to why I switched, I had a basic bank account with the Natwest, have never had overdraft facilities etc. They upgraded me recently to a basic silver account and wanted me to pay £8.00 per month to use any cash machine. As I refused to do this, I switched banks. My new account with TSB is a current account (still no overdraft as I don't want one) where I can use it FOC from any cashpoint. As I said above, it's no big deal if the money clears on Monday - that's when I am due to be paid anyway. When weighing up the accounts on offer, I did do my research however, whether money cleared before it's due date was not a major concern.
