BACS Payments and Clearing - Natwest

I know this has been asked 100's of times on here but cannot find the answer.

BACS Payment made Wednesday a 10am - remittance advice received and confirmed it was made before the remittance advice issued.

I am aware it can take more than the 3 days but is there say a time when it can clear later today? It has not cleared as yet or is there a one processing time per day and that is it?

    Are you referring to a transfer from a personal account? If so, there's no such thing as a 3-day BACS transfer these days. Payments must arrive by the end of the next working day, so the payment should have arrived yesterday, Thursday.

    If you're referring to BACS Direct Credit ( ie wages, benefits, pension, etc) then a payment submitted on Wednesday morning should arrive by close of business today, Friday.
