Timescales for making and receiving payments
Cut off times are shown in UK time. Where we receive payment instructions after the specified cut off time we may not be able to process the payment until the next working day.
In the tables below “working day” for NBKI and other banks operating in the UK means any day of the week except Saturday, Sunday or any English public holiday. When referring to a bank outside the UK (for example when an overseas bank is receiving a payment) it means any day on which the banks in that country are usually open.
Making electronic payments within the UK. (All payments types are in GBP only except for internal transfers.)
| Payment type | Time it takes for payment to reach the recipient’s account | Cut off times for us to make the payment that day |

Bankers Automated Clearing Service

If you want to make a payment in a different currency than the one in which your account is held we will convert the relevant amount into the currency you have requested, using our exchange rate applicable at the time.
Making electronic payments to those outside the UK
| Payment type | Time it takes for payment to reach the recipient’s account | Cut off times for us to make the payment that day |
| SEPA payments (payments in EUR within the Single European Payment Area [4]) | By the end of the next working day. Note that if the payment is received by a bank outside the UK on a non-working day in that country, it may take an additional day to reach the recipient’s account. | 14.00 |
| All other electronic payments outside the UK | These payments will be made by SWIFT transfer and will usually be credited to the recipient’s bank account on the day received, unless received after the cut off time of the receiving bank, in which case the sum will be credited on the receiving bank’s next working day. | 14.00 |

Cheques paid in to your accounts
| Cheque type | When credited to your account |
| Cheque in GBP drawn on a bank in the UK | Two working days later. Note that this is when you receive value. You may not be able to draw on the amount credited until three working days have elapsed. For example, a cheque paid in on Monday would receive value on Wednesday and you could draw on it on Thursday. We will be allowed to reverse the cheque within six working days of it being paid in, for example because there were insufficient funds in the payers account to meet the cheque.
|
| Foreign cheques i.e. cheques in currencies other than GBP or drawn on banks outside the UK | We will collect the amount of the foreign cheque first and then pay the money into your account. We may wait a short time before paying the money into your account to make sure that the foreign cheque is not going to be returned unpaid. If a cheque is in a currency different from that in which your account is held we will convert the cheque into the currency in which your account is held at our exchange rate prevailing on the day of conversion.
