Shawbrook Bank is NOT part of the…

Shawbrook Bank is NOT part of the Faster Payment
scheme so if you transfer / deposit funds at the wrong time eg the weekend or just before then you stand to lose a lot of interest if the amount you are transferring is substantial. Shawbrook- make it clear in bold wording on your savings home page!!! But that wouldn't be in your interest to do would it?
