Do the maths - what time Thursday did you apply - even if it was morning then 3 working days after is Friday Monday TUESDAY.
If it was late it could be Wednesday.0 -
Anyone else thinking theres a lot a new posters on here discussing Post Office loans and wonder if some of them work for the PO marketing department?0

I did think Tuesday, however, the money is still not showing in my bank, despite having received a text message from my bank to say that a new direct debit has been set up by Bank of Ireland (lender)!0

I applied for a post office loan about 2 weeks ago. It was accepted straight away and I was told a copy of my contract would be sent in the post, for me to sign and date and uploads via a link emailed to me.
5 days later I received the paperwork and I signed and dated and uploaded it like they asked.
I havent had any response or fund in my account?0 -

You contacted them yet ?0 -
I'd be phoning them - Bank of Ireland (the bank who Post Office uses to offer their services) is notorious for their poor customer service and slow actioning of things0

Hey, any advice for me please? I applied today for a post office loan and it said, you've been accepted and subject to further checks the money will be in the bank within 2 days
Am I accepted or what?? I've had no emails from them?0 -
What did they say when you called to check with them?0
