If I lodge an EBS bank draft into an NIB account should I have instant access to the funds or is there some clearance delay?
 
Hi Michael, I don't know if there is a delay with those specific banks you mentioned but I had to wait a week for a draft I had from PTSB to clear in AIB.
 
Bank drafts go through the clearing process as a cheque would and generally takes 5 working days to clear.
 
Thanks for the replies. I had thought a draft was equivalent to cash and would go through quickly.
