Kaupthing Edge CHAPS Transfer

rhinestonemaiden

If any of you who have received your money were thinking of celebrating in a modest way (as savers rather than spenders you may well wish to celebrate modestly), why not go to Waitrose and buy a £10 meal for two including three courses and a bottle of wine? I have not yet received my spondulicks but have bought one of these meals anyway as very good value, £5.69 was knocked off the actual price. The offer is open until next Tuesday.

I got one of those from M&S who are doing the same deal this morning

Hurrah - I was going to the pub to drown my worries but in light of all the payments being received I think I'll head down there to celebrate!

Whoop whoop!

I'm still feeling very foolish for having put my money in KE, but I don't think I should be so hard on myself - how were any of us to know until this week that bad things would be happening imminently?

It wasn't foolish, it was always 100% fscs protected ... looking back, Icesave wasn't the best idea....

still im not taking any credit (pardon the pun)... i think the weight of the thread had got the wheels in motion long before our interviews. the silly thing is that a short official message on the site a couple of days ago would have been enough to, well, make me shave again...

:rotfl:Well, I quite liked the disheveled look lol

I'm still waiting for a BACS done on Friday (marked in account as monday).
I need the money as I'm also buying a house in the next 4 weeks!

Kaupthing Edge was no more of a risk than ING when people invested, just because it was not a strictly UK bank. I think it's just unlucky circumstances. But I am grateful the correct action was taken or I would be in a sticky situation right now with the house purchase; especially as the only other money I had (actually taxe that is due next April) is currently stuck in an Icesave bond that matures 12 Dec.... the Inland Revenue might have to wait for their taxes....

Northern Rock is prob safest isn't it? As for me, I'm tempted to keep it under the bed! (joking obviously)

I have an HSBC current account which I am looking online at regularly. I have always found, in the past, that transactions only show up at the start of each day, or maybe very late in the evening. What I am asking is, does anyone else have HSBC and would a BACS/CHAPS show up instantly or will I have to wait until Monday now?
