    DIY - Santander payments are very poor, 300 limit.

    You might get away with doing it in 2 payments? One for 299 and another for 251 - that might go under their radar :P

    I didn't know about the shockingly low limit and tried to transfer a couple of grand once - it took around 2 weeks to come through!

    It will go by BACS anyway, Santander don't do FPS other than up to £300 by phone (except for ex-A&L customers, who can apparently do it online). Though Santander's SOs go by FPS.
