Fast Payment Between Barclays to Natwest

Hello
I need to have an extra £30 in my Natwest account by friday to cover a direct debit that i have forgotton!!!

If i transfer from my Barclays account will it be there on time? I have never transfered like this to this account before

I have heard about FASTER PAYMENTS??? Do i need to do something special to get this to work?

I dont mean to be dumb, i just cant get away to my Branch 42miles away as the children are ill

Thank You in Advance!x

    It should be there within 2 hours. More likely 2 minutes.

    Try a test payment for £1 if you like. Just double check the sort code and account number that you're sending it to carefully and you'll be fine.

  • I've done it! and it was there by the time i logged into the Natwest account.
    I was just so scared that i'd mess it up, lose the money or it not turn up for weeks!!!
    I couldnt afford for it to go astray this week - Thanks for giving me the confidence to go ahead!!! xx
