she can give you a cheque for 30k
as faster payments often have a 10k per day limit , so she could simply make 3 lots of 10k electronic payments over 3 consecutive days.0 -

If your mum can prove where it came from yeah why not. If it's a transfer from another bank your bank will just pass the buck.
If this were possible without hindrance all money launderers would have mums giving them money0 -
They know where it is coming from - her account. Money laundering rules apply more to cash as there is no paper trail of where it came from.0

You can do faster payments to the limit one after the other - no need to wait for 3 days.0
