and(ii) one proof of address (.i.e Utility bill (British Gas, Electricity or Bank Statement), Local authority tax bill, correspondence from HM Revenue & Customs)

Depending how long your funds take to reach us (BACS/CHAPS/Debit or Credit card). Once your funds have been received and cleared, we will send out the required currency to the recipient’s bank account within the day if it is before the cut off time.

Most currency transfers can take up 2 to 3 days to be cleared and arrive in the designated bank account. You will receive a confirmation when we have sent out your funds.
