    Both payments showed up Saturday afternoon the one from Halifax to credit card shows as being completed on 30th so went through on the day it was made just didn't show. The faster payment into Halifax however although it showed on Saturday it is post dated saying that the funds went (or go into) the account on Monday 3rd!

    Just to point out that I was very happy with my time with nationwide and my only reason for leaving was Santander offering £100 to move, same reason for moving on again to Halifax. The only one I've had an issue with was lloyds who were just plain useless and I'd never go back in a million years.

    You do know that Halifax are part of the Lloyds Banking Group don't you? Hopefully you'll be fine with Halifax (as most people are with most banks most of the time) but don't be surprised over time if the user experience becomes closer to that of Lloyds customers.
