Does anyone know whether the SB firms generally speaking use the new(-ish, very ish) "faster payments" system that APACS introduced in May 2008?
From my personal experience with one bank and two building societies, implementation as far as the ordinary retail customer saw it was rather patchy. I get the impression that the situation has improved somewhat of late, at least at the organisations I deal with, although it's still not all there (depending on exactly how the transfer is initiated, and to which other organisation).
So what I am asking is: if you withdraw some moolah from your SB, account, how long does it normally take to reach your bank account? (Assuming it originally came from a debit card ... it could be that credits to debit cards are processed in a different way to other bank transfers, and the FPS may not even be relevant).
Sadly, most of the transfers between me and my SB companies at the moment are in the other direction, so this is of academic interest for the moment, but I live in hope
