I asked before but how much longer will it take to put money into my bank account?

Question

a transfer was started on friday evening to put money into my account but i still have not received it. it isn't even showing up as a pending transaction what is the longest possible time it will take?

Answer 1

Unfortunately it depends on what method you've used to make the payment.  If it's being made electronically or by tested telex (usually for large amounts) then it shoudl be there within three business days.  A sterling cheque is usually quoted by the banks as taking four business days and a bankers draft is considered as good as cash and you should be able to draw on it on the day you pay it in.

The best advice I can give you is chase the bank makingthe payment.

Answer 2

You should give it at least a full business day.  If you initiated it too late in the day Friday, and nothing showed up this morning, it may show up by Tuesday morning if it was a direct electronic transfer from one bank account to another within your country.  But it may show up as pending until sometime Tuesday night.

The bank you initiated the transfer from would be the best place to ask first.
