Faster Payments (Abbey National) roll out plans

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/moneybox/7285167.stm

According to this BBC article, Abbey is a founder member of Faster Payments. However, there is no mention of a roll-out plan for them on their website or in this later article which gives some dates of roll out for the other banks.

    I made an online payment of £200 11 days ago from an RBS current account to a LTSB account which arrived the same day :eek:
