Bank transfers between banks will take longer, up to three business days for some transactions, because they have to go through intermediary banks that help facilitate the transfer.
If money is transferred but not received, the sender should contact the bank or service used to initiate the transfer to track the transaction. They can also contact the recipient's bank to inquire if the funds have been received.
If the payment or transfer you have made left your account immediately you will see the transaction in your list of most recent transactions. If you have scheduled a payment or transfer for a date in the future you will be able to check online that it has been created successfully.
If you need the funds to arrive in the recipient's bank account as soon as possible, you may be able to expedite the process. Some banks offer this service if the recipient account is within the same financial institution, and the sender has previously sent a transfer.
The receiving bank is still processing the money
But some banks are slower than others — they might take up to 1 working day for them to release the money. So your money's safely on its way, but the recipient bank is still processing it. Your recipient can ask their bank to speed this up.

Bank transfers typically arrive in seconds, but they can take up to one working day if the sending bank need to run extra checks. If a payment is taking longer, check that the sender entered the correct account number and sort code. If they were entered incorrectly, the sender can ask their bank to recover the payment.
Payments will generally be received the same day they were sent as banks will exchange payments throughout the day. This will occur at least every hour from 9am to midnight, every day including weekends and public holidays.
Contact your bank: If the details are correct and your wire transfer is lost, reach out to your bank. They can check the status of your transfer and give you more information. Ask for a SWIFT trace (for international transfers): This process tracks your money's path through the international banking system.
