Anyone know if I can pay for a car like this?

[Steviesam]

Seen a car today and like it. Probably buying it Monday.

The seller would like to accompany me to the bank and get the bank to send him the money. It will be a work day, so I cant go swanning off for hours.

I bank with RBS, but there is a local Nat West. I believe they are the same group, so will Natwest do the transaction?

Thanks

I had accounts with both and could only deal separately...

2nd try at posting, bloody phone.

Anyway, do you have access to RBS digital banking? If so you can make a direct payment that will appear in their account immediately.

Failing that use the phone service to transfer the payment, should also appear quickly from memory.

Oh, and what car

CHAPS transfer will work for any bank to bank transfer.

So i just go in and ask for a chaps transfer?

[wemorgan]

Yes. You'll need account name, account number, sort code.
You may need some form of additional ID like driving licence, passport if the amount is large - but it varies.

Thank you very much!

[wemorgan]

for info. NatWest charge £23 for this service

You can't make a chaps (or any other type of transfer) from an RBS account in a Natwest branch, you will have to visit an RBS branch.

I may possibly work for the group

Weird because my wife always pays cash into our RBS business account from the local NatWest?

Hope you don't bank in Cyprus, might be a rather long queue .

Be OK if he doesn't want to use one of the ATMs.

For clarity: You can make CHAPS transfer from one UK bank to another UK bank. This is clearly stated on each bank's website.

You are not getting it are you
you can't go into any bank and just ask for a chaps transfer
it needs to be the bank you want to transfer the money from
you can't go into barclays and say transfer money from my hsbc account into this account, here is my ID, they don't have access to your hsbc account.

the op wanted to know if he could do it from his rbs account in natwest because they are in the same group, and he's got his answer from someone who works there and that answer is no
