Send money from a bank account

How can I send money from my bank account?

In the United Kingdom, you can send money from your bank account either with Faster Payments or SOFORT banking.

If you select Faster Payment bank transfer, you can simply pay directly through your bank’s website, so you don’t need to share any of your financial information. Please follow the payment instructions on your money transfer receipt.

If you select SOFORT Banking instant bank transfer, you simply have to follow the instructions on the screen once redirected to SOFORT Banking. You’ll need to have your online banking details ready to complete the transaction.

Please be informed that the delivery time specified on the send money page varies according to the corridor, payment method and payout method selected. It only estimates the time to deliver the money when the funds are received. It excludes the payment processing time.
