Cheques never clear, they are made availble to you. However if you need the disclaimer here it is:
"You should allow at least 4 working days before using money from a cheque you have paid"
Sometimes the funds will show up immediately if you pay it in your home branch but not always. But usually in up to 4 working days! But can still come back unpaid!! |

Technically it is instant, but they have what is known as standing/waiting days, this can vary from 1-7 working days. This is so they can earn interest on it without passing it on to you. See moneysaver.com |

Hi Annie,
If both accounts are at the same branch then it should be same day clearance.
If not it should take the standard three working days!
Hope that helps |

You can draw on it from a machine (but not at the counter??) after 3 days, but it doesn't actually clear for 6 days. |

Nat West do not use on line real time systems so it can take up to 4 days. Lloyds tsb is the only UK bank that has real time banking so in house cheques are cleared the same day |

Anything up to five days and in the meantime the bastards are earning interest on YOUR money. Think about it! |

Sometimes in a day if it is electronically presented. |

It can be as much as 7 days if it means that they can hit you with a charge in some way or other. THERE IS A BETTER WAY: Close your account and move to another bank!!!!
Before it is tooooo late.
You have been warned. |
