Question about standing orders.. Help.

How long does it normally take for money to transfer to one bank account to another if I set up a standing order?

I want to move a certain about from my bank account to our joint account for all of the bills.

    if the two accounts are with the same bank then its usually instantaneous

    if they are with different banks then it used to take about 3 working days
    but we are supposed to have faster clearing now so between some banks it only takes an hour or so..

    why not just try out a transfer and see?
