As we have said, traditionally, banks would not transfer money on the weekends. Any transfers made on the weekend would not clear into the other person’s account until the following Monday. But, online banking has made everything a lot more convenient, and part of this added convenience is that banks now transfer money on the weekends. But, this doesn’t mean that all payments will be transferred on the weekend.  Some banks still don’t transfer money on the weekends, so if you are with one of these, payments still will not clear until the following Monday. Other banks will allow transfers to clear on the weekend if they are made using online banking, but not if the transfer is completed in-store. So, it is important that you realize that not all banks allow transfers to go through on the weekends.  In order for a bank transfer to be processed on the weekend, your bank will have to offer something known as ‘faster payments’. Most banks offer this nowadays, but it is still best to check if you have any urgent payments scheduled for the weekend. Faster payments operate regardless of the day or time that you are making the payment, so you will be able to make payments using this feature throughout the weekend. Payments made using faster payments usually clear into the recipient’s account within 2 hours of leaving your account.
