In this article, Interbacs looks to answer the question ‘how much can I transfer via faster payments by looking at the faster payment limit. ## Brief overview of faster payments The Faster Payments Service (FPS) was introduced in the UK in May 2008 with the specific design to speed up the process of sending money within the UK. It is now commonly used for everyday transactions and in 2018, it was recorded that 21 banks and building societies were now using faster payments. We cover more about the Faster Payment Service and why it was introduced in our blog ‘[What is the FPS payment method?](https://interbacs.com/knowledge-hub/blog/what-is-fps-payment-method)’ ## How much can I transfer via faster payments? In general each banking organisation will have its own faster payment limit, which is set at the individual bank’s discretion. However, currently the highest amount you can transfer using faster payments is up to £250,000. It is important to note that despite its name, transfer times are not guaranteed, even if they are expected to be short. It is also not guaranteed that your receiving bank will credit the payment into your account immediately. ## How do I find out if my bank is able to receive faster payments? This simplest method would of course be to just ask your bank. However, if you like to do things quickly and online then the Faster Payments UK website enables you to find out quickly using their easy-to-use [sort code checker](https://newseventsinsights.wearepay.uk/sort-code-checker/). ## Choose Interbacs for your payment solutions Interbacs is a market leader when it comes to payment solutions.
