    How long do they take to show bank transfers? Mine isn't showing after around an hour of the faster payment bong made - I've checked the correct details were used.

    **It's now showing, so perhaps an hours and a half**
    Looks like we send the money to Skiptons account, then they transfer it to ours using our account number as reference.  
    So it may not be done until someone is available in the office to do it? 
    It's more likely they run periodic batch jobs that allocate funds to customer accounts from their clearing account.
    Whats the difference?

    The batch jobs may be automated. Auto Sergei isn’t a real meerkat!

    My initial deposit the other day arrived fairly swiftly. Now I'm waiting to rehome the funds from Tesco when interest ends on 22nd.

    Perhaps we could find out by making a transfer in the middle of the night when everyone has gone home.
    I find transfers take half an hour or so when marcus and nationwide are instant
    Not that it matters
    Unless somebody makes a transfer on Saturday afternoon and worries because it doesn't show until Monday.

    Received my welcome pack this morning. ( unique code for mobile)
    Also made another deposit and was showing within 20 minutes.
    Everything all setup done and dusted.😉
  • Fwiw I received the unique App code this morning. Easy to complete the steps on mobile and a test deposit via debit card showed up instantly. Smooth process all said and done.

    Debit card payments will not start earning interest for 3 days whereas faster payments will start earning interest when  they are received.

    I paid in at 2219 last night and it was shown within an hour.
