Only if they have the functionality. And depends what timescales you have. If it HAS to arrive same day, then CHAPS.
Ring them in the morning.0 -
think CHAPS is the way to go then as i am buying a repo and want to exchange asap0

CHAPS, unless you have the same bank as you solicitor you can pay over a counter using you debit card to pay to his account. The money will be credited to your solicitor's a/c same day, this will save £25 for CHAPS. I did same with Barclays, but because they could not do it over a counter, I got CHAPS free of charge. Good luck!Have you got something to share - Do it.
When you don't know - Ask.0 -
I had my money in a Halifax Savings Account. They issued a bankers draft FOC that my solicitor accepted.0
