International Payments in a branch

The quickest way of sending payments abroad including Euro, provided the beneficiary's bank is in the EEA.

Payments in Euro will arrive at the beneficiary's bank at the latest, the next business day after the business day on which we received your instruction, but usually will arrive on the same business day as the business day on which we receive your instructions (instructions made by paper (ie bank form or letter) may take an additional business day).

Payments in other currencies (including sterling) to countries in the EEA will arrive at the beneficiary's bank at the latest, four business days after the business day on which we receive your instruction, but usually in two to three business days following the business day on which we receive your instructions.

Convenient for lower-value and planned non-Euro payments.

Payments in sterling will take up to two business days following the business day on which we receive your instructions to arrive at the beneficiary's bank but can take up to four business days following the business day on which we receive your instructions to arrive at the beneficiary's bank (instructions made by paper (ie bank form or letter) may take an additional business day).

Payments in EEA currencies other than Euro will take up to four business days to arrive at the beneficiary's bank following the business day on which we receive your instructions, provided that the beneficiary's bank is in the EEA.

Payments outside the EEA and /or in non-EEA currencies will take up to five business days to arrive at the beneficiary's bank following the business day on which we receive your instructions.

Convenient for sending planned euro payments overseas and within the UK. Payments will arrive one business day after your instruction (instructions made by paper (ie bank form or letter) may take an additional business day).
