Here are some additional things to keep in mind about Faster Payments:
Transfer time, while expected to be short, is subject to confirmation by the bank and the receiving institution who is responsible to credit the payee’s account. Not all banks and building societies offer the same features for Faster Payments. For example, some banks may only allow you to make Faster Payments during certain hours of the day, while others may charge a fee for each Faster Payment.
If you are making a large payment, you may need to contact your bank to verify the transaction.
