Debit & Credit on Same day - Which is processed first?

Got a Lloyds TSB Current Account. Paying off a big credit card bill in february which is on the same day as I get paid. If Lloyds processed the credit card first, it would take me overdrawn. However as both credit and debit would be on the same day, as long as I'm in credit at the end of the day will I be ok and Lloyds not charge me any overdraft charges, etc??

    What i do know is on the day you pay in the cheque, the first £1,000 is credited straight away into the account (but not available for withdrawal) and earn interest on the same day. Maybe someone else will know more.

    Depends on how you're paying it (and who it's with)? Cheque there by the due date - no problem. DD ..... likely a problem as funds need to be there day before. FP on the day - no problem etc etc.
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
