    Yesterday evening I did FP from my Lloyd TSB A/C to my Santander PICR a/c in sum of £300.00 it arrived within minutes to my Santander A/C
    Inwards FPs appear to be no problem, I transferred a single payment of £2,500 from HSBC into my newly-opened Preferred Interest Account earlier this week and it arrived straight away (i.e. between logging off HSBC and logging on to Santander).

    Good News Then
    It seems that the limit is now increase, as based on this old list is only £300.00 for Santander.

    Last month when I sent about £1000.00 to Santander (forgot the exact amount) it took 3 working days. But yesterday when I sent LLoyds TSB to Santander £300.00 it just took a few minutes

    That it good news as it allow us to transfer/moving money instantly.

    Inwards FPs appear to be OK, whether the same applies to outgoing payments/transfers remains to be seen, as far as I'm concerned.

    Dear Baldur or Other members

    Have you tried outward FP from Santander to other Bank who could receive FP ?.

    What I am interested is:
    1 FP transfer up to £300.00
    2. FP transfer of more than £300.00


    Thank you

    Not personally, only inward - as posted previously.

    Sometimes, sometimes not. I last tested it a couple of weeks ago. It's still completely unreliable.

    Don't know if it helps but I did a 2K transaction and it blocked my internet access :p
    Santander are awful - mission in life is to warn people since 17-Sep-10, 18-Sep-10 realised one of thousands.
  • One thing I've noticed, as a Santander customer...

    Payments into the account (FP) are received almost instantly as you would expect from a Faster Payment but whenever I pay into another account, it takes 3 days -> meaning it was sent via BACs rather than FP... no matter what bank you send it to.

    For some reason Santander currently only receives faster payments and not send them.
