Halifax faster payments - nearly there?

Still nothing here, though it is an internet savings account i have with halifax not a current account. Has anyone been able to transfer from savings? Cheers

I've just opened a new A&L a/c and managed to FP £2.00 from my Halifax current a/c (although I don't have access to the A&L a/c online yet, but it seems to have gone off ok!)

I'd tried sending £1 from my Hfx websaver but got the usual message about it going the next day.

So it seems the Current a/cs can but the Savers can't (at the moment) - although the "Why not send a Faster Payment" message comes up for both accounts.

I sent £35 from Halifax to A&L last night, it said it couldn't do it faster payment style but is in and cleared in A&L today, excellent!

All 'Faster Payments' made from Halifax receive individual acknowledgement emails, I've noticed.

Yes, I got one for my £2 sent from the current a/c

Do they still send an email if it's a payment that they tell you (on screen) won't go as a FP but then it does (like in sammyjammy's case above).

I'm off to send one from my Websaver a/c to see what happens

Oh It just says it'll be sent on the 27th. I'll see if it's gone in the morning.

Have you discovered this by varying the amount until the on-screen message changes, or something like that?

Thanks

I tried a payment of £100 and it showed on screen that the transaction will go through faster payment and will be there within 2 hours.

I then tried £101 and the screen showed that the transaction will go though using the bill payment service which takes 3-4 days.
