How Long

With this being a bank holiday this weekend is it better to wait until Tuesday before doing any interbank transfers.

What would happen if I did a transfer tonight?

Thanks :)

    It will go through fully on Thursday, or maybe Friday if you're unlucky.

    So I'd be best letting it sit where it is until Tuesday morning then?

    yes do it on tuesday - as will take three/four working days so no point having the money waiting around on non working days earning no interest
    Keep the Faith:cool:

    Depends how urgent it is / which Bank you're with? If you do it now .. should be on it's way Tuesday. If you do it Tuesday ... won't go until Wed with a few Banks (eg Halifax)
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !

    Its not so desperate, although I am usually a bit of a night owl anyway, so if I do the transfer just after midnight on Tuesday morning it should hopefully be winging its way on Tuesday after the banks do what ever they do in the wee small hours :D
