Why Has My Recipient Not Received My Bank Transfer?

There could be a number of reasons your family and friends don’t receive their bank transfer within the expected timescale, including:

• we could need extra information from you, before your transfer is processed.
• we may need extra information from the recipient (such as ID).
• timescales for transfer delivery are counted in working days. This means that public holidays and/or weekends are not counted in the delivery timescale. So they may extend delivery dates beyond what you may expect.
• in a very small number of cases, technical issues can occur that affect the recipient’s bank’s ability to credit the transfer.
