Bit late - but usually on my bank it takes 3 working days.

As I said it's officially 2 working days to start interest (and more importantly to stop overdraft interest being charged), 4 days to allow withdrawal (start of business) and AFTER day 6 (really it almost means day 7 but if the day after 6 is a weekend then it's that day)

Some banks allow withdrawal after 3 days, but not all.

You have to give it a few working days, though I have noticed in the last few years cheque clearing has become a bit quicker.

I explain the answer twice other people post the answer. Someone else even links the full explanation, and you come in with something vague. What were you thinking? Do you just read the first post in a thread and post your reply?
