A&L - Santander sort code change - missing payment?

Hi

Anyone else experienced an FP not reaching your A&L account after the sort code switch?

My account seem to have migrated last weekend. One small FP made on 13th hasn't turned up in the A&L account yet. It was sent using arrangement established and used before the sort code change, that is it used the old sort code. Surely that should still work as quickly.

    In theory, using either sortcode will work just as fine as the other. I too was migrated last weekend and we put a £10 over from a Halifax account that had deposited to us in the past and it worked no problem and was received instantly. The old 72-50-0X sortcode was used.

    You may need to get the originating bank to do a trace on the payment.

    I made a £1 payment out of my account to my new Barclays account on Friday and it has not reached it's destination yet, but I have been warned of such delays from others on here. This is so my wages can be moved to Barclays on Friday without hinderance (aside from the £250 max limit for FPs from Santander :mad: ) should work not be quick enough to change my details over.
    Remember this: nothing worth doing is easy.

    I'll follow up with LTSB later today. I had sent a larger sum from Halifax on Monday which reached the account OK. Tuesday's amount was from LTSB.

    Update: spoke with helpful LTSB helpline - sorted.
