Hi there.
How long does it take when completing a Direct Debit mandate on sites, signing a mobile contract on paper etc. take to appear on the banks side?

It varies. Depends how long it takes for the payee to contact the bank and how long the bank takes to process it. Obviously an electronic DD mandate is likely to be quicker than a paper one sent through the post.0

I submitted the electronic mandate tonight through a political organisation
, so, am expecting it to take 3 days or so

Some banks, for example NatWest, do not list Direct Debits in online banking until the first payment has been taken.0
