Which bank do you use ? I've never had an electronic payment (from one
clearing bank to another) result in anything but a credit to the
recipient on the same day as the money disappears from my account.

An electronic payment from a Royal Bank of Scotland account to any other
bank takes at least 3 working days for the funds to appear in the
receiving account.

The money leaves the account the second that the transfer button is
pressed.
