    How long does it take for the payment to appear in the account and are you using the application reference number + surname or the account number+ surname?

    I have sent payments using both combinations and no sign of either after 10 minutes or so.

    They use a bank for clearing - deposits update next working day.

    Ok, Thanks. Can anyone confirm the reference combination that they are using so I can send over the rest?

    I was told as long as you've made the payment before 4pm, it will appear today.

    Call centre says because some people have been opening excessive amount of accounts, they had to put a limit of 1 a/c per person. Any a/c more than the 1 of each allowed will be closed.

    So they screwed up and now they are panicking! :rotfl:

    Deposits update same day, providing it is received before 4pm on a working day. They'll do a few runs a day to allocate funds received in the holding account to your account.

    I used Application Reference SPACE Surname for the 1st and Account Number SPACE Surname for the 2nd.

    I'll know after 4pm what worked - I would expect both to be OK

    I didn't include the space on either option. Will find out what has worked after 1600 I guess :p

    Glad to hear that it's not just me. I won't panic yet about my 8.30 AM deposit not arriving yet then!

    That in itself is interesting wording - "they had to put a limit of 1 a/c per person"after people began opening excessive numbers of accounts? If that is a correct interpretation it suggests it was ok to open more than one to start with... but now isn't.

    I don't see anything in the T&C's saying posts on Facebook will be the agreed method used to amend the T&C's ;)
