Clearing Funds - which bank or other organisation is the slowest? Is it the Post Office?

[ThompsonTwins]

Post Office still haven't cleared the funds I am transferring from my bank account into my online post office account. Eight working days and counting. If there is anyone with the knowledge (if a post office employee, great!) - please can you tell me about the process. The funds are to buy a house so you can imagine what upset it will cause to a number of families. Where are my funds while they are being transferred. Is there a remote possibility that they are being used by the Post Office in the meantime? Would like to hear of any one else's bad experiences.

What day did you transfer and what is the normal transfer period? Yougot to account for the weekends and bank hols.

Shouldn't take more than 3 working days as long as it was a direct bank transfer eg not a cheque or anything. When did you send the funds? Do they have up to date contact details for you, if it's a large amount you have transferred it may be being investigated to ensure it's not fraud / money laundering. I'd suggest ringing them tomorrow.
