    If it is a new Payee and a large sum it can sometimes automatically be flagged by fraud/ transfer as bacs which takes up to 3 working days. If I understand it correctly.
  • ok, thanks. On my internet banking it says the payment was made using 'faster payments', hopefully it will reach them tonight/tomorrow.

    There's no such thing as BACS between personal accounts any more - ever since 1st Jan.

    If it's gone by FP then they have until the end of the next business day to get it there - and Santander seem to take that where new payees are involved. As the day after Friday is a Monday - as far as Banks are concerned ..... then give it until close tomorrow (Tue)
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
