Any faster payment picked up by the bank's internal services as potentially suspicious will need human intervention.
Christmas Day was a bank holiday with probable skeleton staff in - not rocket science knowing that there may be a delay because of this.0 -

what did your original post achieve?
I tried to correct your misstatement from others who may read it as fact later and inform you in the process that holidays are irrelevant in the processing of FP. This can be confirmed with the message that continues to appear even on bank holidays after making a payment advising it should arrive within two hours. But you are clearly not interested in the actual topic. I hope this is simply a way for you to relief stress and is not your attitude towards others in real life, it will only hold you back and weigh you down.jonesMUFCforever wrote: »Any faster payment picked up by the bank's internal services as potentially suspicious will need human intervention.

They were having general technical issues. This isn't like the very many bizarre posts we get here of some far fetched dodgy random payment scenario. You should read further up.0
