A Faster Payment lets you send same-day payments in, at most, a few hours. Payments can only be made in GBP from within the UK to another bank that accepts Faster Payments.
We’ll process any Faster Payments you make through online banking or the app immediately. They reach the payee in a matter of hours or minutes, even on evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

Sort codes
For incoming Faster Payments the sort codes are 60-95-34 for Individual Banking customers and 40-51-62 for Corporate Banking customers.

Reading your statement
If a payment is made or received on a weekend or bank holiday, your statement will show the actual date of the payment in the ‘Details’ column. The ‘Value Date’ will show the next working day after the payment was made or received.
