Length of time - for money to go from old, closed account to new switched account

Options
Money sent in error today (Old account- Halifax. New account - HSBC) Has anyone had any experience of how long this will take, please? I switched last year, so it will bounce to my new one, just worried about time scales. I'm assuming that I don't need to do anything!

    From past experience, the redirection is more or less instant if the original payment sent to the old account is sent by faster payment
  • I've done this a couple of times, including where there the switched to account was also switched (so one extra hop)  and it took a minute or so.
