Abbey Business Banking

Hi

Can anybody who has an Abbey Business Bank Account tell me if funds sent into the account via Faster Payment can be used instantly for direct debits etc, as I think cash paid in via a cash machine cannot be used until 2 working days after deposit.

    Last time I checked faster payments were not working either way with Abbey. They are so crap!

    Hi
    I sent a faster payment from my A&L account yesterday and it was there instantly, I wonder if thats because they are both part of the santander group

    Just tried a faster payment in from Nat West and it worked fine. Faster payments out did not work (yet).

    That's a good step forward.
