Applied Friday. Few hours later I got an email saying congratulations your money is on the way
Subject to final checks the money should be in your bank within three days. Has anyone had a loan and had the money as expected??

    Many people have had a post office loan... not sure how that information helps you!

    With regards to when it will be paid, only the post office can give you an answer on that... other people’s experiences are their own and will have no impact or bearing on your experience.

    Given you are still within timeframe just wait.

    It’s the weekend when banks are closed. It will take time to process.

    You are coming across as desperate and posting won’t make it come any quicker

    Might have been a better plan to research that before committing to the loan.:p
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Of course I'm desperate. Do you have a sick child who requires therapy that I have to pay for out of pocket ? Thanks for the input though.

    It would normally be three working days. If they are including Friday it should be tomorrow. If not it will be Wednesday. They are normally accurate. You could ring to find out for sure?
