Each bank will have a slightly different process, but it will be basically: select MAKE BANK TRANSFER, fill in our Sort Code, our Account Number and the amount, click CONFIRM.

Log into your bank account, make the payment, if your bank operates the scheme the money will arrive in our account in two hours*, if your bank does not operate the scheme, it will take three working days. * you can make the payment at any time of the day or night, but the money will take two hours to arrive during banking hours. Participating banks are HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Barclays, RGS Group, Alliance Leicester, Abbey, Citi, Northern Rock, Nationwide, HBOS Ltd, National Australia Group and Danske Bank. It WILL take a couple of months for all of these banks to implement the scheme, click here and enter your bank's Sort Code to see if YOU can make Faster Payments.
