Pay a mobile contact

All online payments are made through Faster Payments provided the payment amount is within the FPS limits. The money will reach the recipient's account usually within 2 hours but can sometimes take up to close of business the next working day from the date the payment is sent. The bank account that you are sending the money to will need to be able to accept Faster Payments.
