Since January 2025, you’ve been receiving payments instantly to your account. This means your balance is updated straight away.
From 25 August 2025, we’ll start to roll out payments you can send instantly from your account. These payments will reach whoever you are paying within 10 seconds. We will let you know when these become available through our website.
We’re also introducing a new check called ‘Verification of Payee’ from 5 October 2025 for all SEPA payments. This helps protect your money. Verification of Payee will check the name of the account you’re paying with the receiving bank to see if it matches the name you gave us. You can then decide if you still want to go ahead with the payment.
You’ll also be able to set limits on how much money you send through instant payments each day.
