Hi guys,

My Cashminder account is now fully setup and I've started to use it as of today.

Just want to know though, when paying bills or transferring money to other bank accounts online is the transfer instant? With my NatWest step account I can transfer money to my Co-op account and it's there almost instantly... is it the same for Cashminder?

Thanks.

    Usually takes between an hour or two, before it shows up in your cashminder account.

  • Mine are a bit variable, sometimes it's there instantly, sometimes not, i think it depends on if the other company are using 'faster payments'. On the whole i think it is a bit slower to update than RBS etc are but they are providing a great service as far as i can see.

    What about the other way around, if I transfer from my Co-op to NatWest will it get to NatWest straight away?

    I send money from one of my Cashminder accounts to another person's account with a different bank on a monthly basis. Most times it goes immediately via the 'faster payments' process. But this isn't guaranteed so you should always allow up to 4 working days for a transfer to arrive.

    When we started making a rent payment to the landlords account(different bank) from a cashminder it took 3 days, but after about six months it became immediate. The same when I transfer to another bank account of mine after about six payments it became immediate.

    One offs will take up to 4 days but this seems to change when it becomes regular.

    I transfer money to a Natwest Acc and a Nationwide account, and it is roughly the same as if I transfer the other way back to my cashminder, It is always there with an hour or two.
