Tesco current account - delay in payments in and out?

veryintrigued

Anyone else experiencing delays?

Its been over three hours here for both money in and out. Its normally within 5 mins and (I think) they state payments out should be made within two hours on their confirmation screen.

I've had delays on a weekend for the last 3 weeks. Get the green '2 hours' message but payments arrive much later in the day...still same day though.

Many thanks for that.

That must have been there when I did the transfers! Can I blame a heavy night?

I'm convinced I still received the 2 hour message though!

Even on a normal weekend, payments to and from the Tesco Bank accounts are slow... Take way longer than 2 hours...

I received the 2 hour message last week and the payment was held for a fraud check, still left the account but didn't go anywhere until I rang them later that day.

You would still receive the usual 2 hour message at the end of the transaction, Tesco won't change that just because there is a maintenance delay today, hence the message on the log in page! Easy to miss when you are used to just going through the motions of course!
