hello all

first time poster. Ill get straight the the point, basically my friend owes me some money and is going to send it via bank transfer. He is with santander, now its important i get this money asap, but i have heard when making a transfer online it can take up to 4 working days?

I have heard if making the payment over the telephone its instant?

If this is correct, what is the number needed to call? Ive tried looking on their site and unless im blind i just cant find it anywhere.

All help is much appreciated, thank you.

I just want to know if the transfer is made over telephone is it instant?

and the telephone number needed to do this.

Thank you

-edit-

Just spoke to them, they said they just made the transfer online about 30 minbutes ago but its still not showing in my account. They said they phoned santander after and they said it should be in my account today.

Do you know how long it usually takes to show up and will it show in my account today? sorry, i just really need this money

    The first new transfer with santander is not instant no matter what way you do it, and only an amount under £300 pounds will go instantly. If it is under £300, get him to send you 1p then straight away after send you the correct amount and it will go by faster payments.

    If he has never sent you money before and just sent you the whole lot then its going to be a 4 day wait.
