Sent money to a frozen account

Hello there,

Transferred some money into my partners account this morning which when she went to check it was able to access anything, she went into the bank and was told that her account has been frozen, she is going in tomorrow morning to sort it but they told her nothing will go in or out while it is frozen

Nothing is showing as coming as bouncing back to my account so I was wondering as to how long it is likely to take to come back to me? Do I need to contact my bank or will it come back automatically?

Thanks

    What happens next will depend on what you mean by "frozen"?

    Most frozen accounts because of death etc ..... continue to accept incoming payments. You just can't get anything out. Either by DD / SO or faster payment / transfer.
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
