cheque clearance

May 16, 2005 6 Replies

Hi,



How long does it take for funds to come out of a account?



I.E. pay cheque in bank say HSBC on Monday (before 3pm) will the funds come out of the account (Halifax) on Tuesday or Wednesday?



Thanks


Thursday is most likely.

That would be nice - but I would expect to see the funds disappear from my Halifax account Tuesday to reappear in my HSBC account as cleared funds Thursday or Friday. Afterall isn't this how banks make money on funds while in clearing?

Wednesday.

No, Wednesday is most likely for main stream clearers, or are you adding a day because the drawee is Halifax?

hi, the cash for that cheque has come out today... thanks for the help
