Transaction limits
It is now possible to send individual payments of up to £1 million using the Faster Payments System, but those organisations offering the service can set their own limits, depending on how the payment is sent, and the type of account their customer is sending from.
Personal and business transaction limits for the directly connected organisations (and their subsidiaries) are available below.
Simply click on an organisation to find out how much can be sent per transaction, for both personal and business customers. Please note that some service providers also choose to limit how much it is possible to send during the course of a day.
