Limits and timescales

To make a payment from the mobile app for more than £750, you'll need to have made at least one payment to that payee using Online Banking. A daily limit of £20,000.00 applies when sending money to your saved payees for Personal customers and a daily limit of £20,000.00 will apply for Premier customers, unless you change your existing reference.

Once a payment has been sent the payee's account should be credited instantly, however it can take up to 2 hours.

Keeping your payments safe

For added security you may be asked to authorise this payment. If this happens you will see the 'Authentication required' screen. Just tap 'Next'. Then re-enter your mobile app's log in details, to re-confirm it's you.
