Depends on your bank, best to ring them on the amount limit of their faster payments. If its shabby Abbey/Santander their limit is very low.

I think it's £10,000 max per day. Something to do with money laundering laws I believe.

PM Banker, that's his bag after all.

Your right 10 grand max per tranfer. I had allsorts of hassle tranferring money from the UK to Germany to buy a house here.

Just open an account with Bank of Lagos in Nigeria. They have no limits on the amount that can be transferred. Failing that, give your bank a couple of days notice and withdraw the deposit in cash. Then simply walk down the street to your solicitor's office with wads of notes spilling from every pocket. As a security measure, do this after dark and only use deserted streets.

Depends who you're with. My lot (Lloyds TSB) is £25000.00 per day or £1,000,000 if between your own accounts.

They'd have to give me 25k a day to be with them.

From Nationwide site. You don't state what bank they, soliciters, use

Transfer limits

You can transfer up to £50,000 between your accounts in one transaction. (The limit is £3,000,000 if you have an e-Savings/e-Savings Plus). Providing there are sufficient cleared funds available, there's no limit to the number of times you can make a transfer.

I've transferred a couple of £40,000 payments to Spain from my UK bank. No problem except the cost goes up to £25 if it's above £10k.
