Thanks for the heads up on Skipton’s slow processing of incoming SOs early hours on 1st. I intended to set up SO from BoS from 1Sept but will fund by FP or debit card instead.They are both showing today and credited today, 4th August.I’ll be doing a manual posting from now on at a later time of the day. Until now Skipton deposits always showed same day as posted, usually within a couple of hours.
Lesson learned.Digital Payback

My payments to Skipton have, until now, always been dated the day sent, but I have a note on my spreadsheet that interest is from next working day?0

Lesson learned.I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.0 -
Unreliable Skipton BS
My deposits made early hours on 1st Aug are now showing but dated 4th Aug.
Standing orders/scheduled payments have now been cancelled. I'll make manual payments during business hours, if I remember/have time etc.
Question for MSE's, does this happen with any other bank/building society who also offer RS's? It's the randomness of the process that irritates me more than the actual delay. Does anyone actually have an explanation for why some payments get credited on the day and others are only credited the following business day? I've not heard any explanation that holds up.
Very poor form from Skipton BS.0 -

The only one that shows payments late in my experience is Furness.

Sent a payment to Furness yesterday. Still not showing today but I’m guessing tomorrow morning as they don’t seem to be the quickest?0

Lesson learned.Not being a clearing bank is an irrelevance. Nationwide is not a clearing bank, nor are many of the fintechs.This is a 'slow old system' issue.
