Hello,

Thanks

Same applies with some other banks too (transfers between other banks). I have tried it with:

Natwest
Barclays
HSBC
Lloyds

It's to do with the Faster Payments service that was launched last year.

On that note you can check http://www.apacs.org.uk/sortcodechecker/index.html to see if your sort code supports faster payments, not all banks support it right now, and others partially support it.
