Does anyone know the best time of day to put money across into Shawbrook? seems to take them age to receipt funds into the account, also I have £40k in an ISA with them, my wife has £20k, and we have £78k in our joint savings account, am I at risk of losing funds if they go under?

Thank you

    The £78k is split 50/50 for FSCS purposes so £39k each.
    That means you have £79k in total (£39 + £40). Your wife has £59k. So no problem with FSCS limits at the moment.

    Thanks, i just read their terms and conditions and seems you need to send funds before 15:30 otherwise you dont see funds credited until next working day and also dont start earning interest!

    It’s not the best if you want ultra speedy transfers in and out 

    not an issue for me personally
