How can I get money into someone's bank account fast???

[FrannyandZooey]

I have messed up and forgotten to pay a bill. I need to get it paid by the 28th or pay a £50 penalty. I usually pay by bank transfer but I think this takes about 5 working days or something stupid. Would it be quicker to physically go to the bank and put cash in? I seem to remember even cash does not clear straight away (ruddy banks )

Help!

Ok I took the cash into Lloyds today and they said as it is a business account it will clear not today, but overnight. Which is in plenty of time and means my problem is sorted and I am very extremely very grateful for your combined wisdom.

And can spend the £50 I 'saved' on shoes, do you think?

ha ha F&Z, um, yes re the shoes although I feel I should point out it's not really strictly a saving. but you know this
