SupraAyf Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Guys, do you know long 'wire' transfers take to transfer funds from one bank to a second. Cheers all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 HSBC takes 3 working days IIRC unless the recipient is with the same bank. You can pay extra to do it instantly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Generally 3 working days, or same day if between accounts at the same bank. I think 5 working days is the quoted maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have experienced differing timeframes depending on the bank. I am lloyds and most take a few days to get to me. if they are lloyds too then it is normally 1 business day (or sameday depending on time sent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Different banks, different rules. Technically it has to be done within 4 working days, however Natwest receives payments in 2 days from other banks, HSBC is 3, Barclays is normally 4.

dangerous brain Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Depends on who sends it. A certain banned members account took months to clear into my account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just FYI mate, I'd be very careful if you are sending payment for items bought on eBay using wire transfer. Even eBay advises against it. No way to prevent the other party walking off with your money and no way for you to prove that the money you sent them was in return for am item.

Pete Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I just had to transfer £20k from the UK to my account in Rhodes. I went in the bank 13:30 on Friday and it was in the account at 09:12 this morning. Cost me £30 for the faster service (and about £2k in crappy Euro rate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRASUZUKI Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Minutes from one LloydsTSB branch to another. 3 days from LloydsTSB to bank in Australia (£20 charge). 3 days from LloydsTSB to bank in Florida (£20 charge). My experiences:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Cheers guys, there seems to be a variation in timelines but at least dispatching funds by wire transfer ensures delivery. Thanks again;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
