    No need for CHAPS these days. Online accounts are usually capped at around £10,000 for faster payments, so just go into your local branch and get the count staff to do a faster payments transfer for you. They can transfer anything up to £100,000. Just remember to take some ID with you.

    Yes faster payment standard limit per account is £100K but most of the people only use their internet banking that has further limit to only deal with £10K-£25K as a daily limit. This limit is applied by the banks, not by the faster payment systems.

    Agreed, so get the counter staff to do the transfer for you.

  • Phoned Santander and they can do my solicitors deposit with a 'faster payment' (£21,000) over the phone.

    They said they can go to £100,000 and anything beyond this would have to be a CHAPS.
