Q:
Routing rules for Bulk Payments
A:
We will always try and route your payment through the Faster Payments system.
All credits within the bulk list will be sent on the date you requested if:
- The beneficiary sort codes can accept Faster Payments
- The amount of each credit is within the service limits
Faster Payments is a near real time system. A payment will be received by the beneficiary almost immediately after leaving your account, though sometimes it may take two hours.
NB: The beneficiary's bank may not make funds available to the beneficiary on this date.
