Transfer time from German bank acc to UK coop business acc?

Hello everyone,

I'd greatly appreciate some help. I've just been sent money for a job from a german bank acc and was wondering how long these things usually take to arrive in the UK acc - its a coop business account. I'd really appreciate any answers!

Thank you!

A (very skint) Billie

    The transfer was in €? If so, I believe it will be treated as a SEPA payment and take 1 business day. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Hi there,

    Thank you for your help. I believe it was transferred in pounds...would that make any difference?

    Yes, I think so. But I haven't made any transfers so far this year to know firsthand the differences of the new rules.

    When you eventually receive the money, can you tell us how long it took?

  • Yeah, we billed the client in pounds so it would have been paid in pounds. I hope that doesn't make too much of a difference. *sigh*
  • Crap. of course I will let you know. Will check acc daily. You never know we might be lucky.
  • It cleared today.
