Applied to Santander.. but have to wait for decision?

This is the first time I've applied for a loan and it said it'd been received successfully etc and that I should be informed within 48 hours whether it's been successful or not. Is this the norm? As I say, it's the first time I've applied for an actual loan so it's all new to me and am used to the usual instant accept/decline of credit cards!

Thanks in advance

lenders are rightly being very cautious atm,48 hours seems about right

Just noticed I've had 2 emails from them, within a minute of each other, one saying I'll be informed via email within 24 hours, the other by phone or post within 48 hours. You'd think they'd be able to make their mind up!
