    It says when you do the payment, usually it says around 2 hours. Check tomorrow. Halifax uses roll numbers too, did you put that in the reference box?

    It should be 'instantaneous' really if it has gone through. First thing is to check that the payment details (sort code account number) were definitely correct. If they are then check with HSBC to confirm that your payment was sent to those details and via FPS. If they say 'yes' then approach Halifax and ask them why they aren't showing the receipt yet.

    Faster payments can take up to 4 hours.

    If there is a problem, i.e. wrong details, it should be bounced back by the switch taking more than twice that time (so, 8 hours).

    As said above, were any relevant roll numbers quoted?

    For transfers to Halifax roll numbers are not needed. As long as the sort code and account number are correct it will go through fine. Your sort code & account number combination refers uniquely to your account, so no other reference is needed.

    Iv just made a transfer of £200 to another HSBC account it said the payment is sent immediately.

    But when he checked his account the money is in the account but its not available for withdrawal?
