Lloyds BACS transfers and interest
http://www.lloydstsb.com/current_accounts/classic_and_classic_plus_accounts.asp This works in practice, does it? If I 'pay' a sum on Monday (and it leaves Lloyds on Tuesday, I believe) and it arrives Thursday then Lloyds will pay interest on the sum until Wednesday? And does that include 'over-weekending' also?
