    RCI also pretty damn fast - certainly same day.  Except when I came to close the account when the account disappeared immediately from the RCI platform, yet the balance took quite a few days to reach my bank.  Leaving me unable to check progress, or closing interest.  Which seemed a bit weird.  In contrast, an account my wife opened and closed many years ago with Virgin was still accessible online, allowing her to easily check her zero balance !  Not that Virgin were going to let her open a new savings account without re-verifying her identity (but probably the rules had changed in the intervening years).
    fast has not been my experience at all with RCI, and unless things have changed recently, it even says in the T&C "withdrawing money normally takes a couple of days". and if you make a request after 2pm on a friday afternoon, it will likely be end of day on tuesday before money appears in linked account. (or monday if before 2pm).
    marcus by contrast is pretty d*mn fast (well, usually!)
