Not long at all! We usually make payment immediately after an application is approved, no matter what time it is or what day of the week it is. You should generally allow up to an hour and we'll email you when the cash has left our account. The only time when this might not be the case is if you are with one of the smaller banks that hasn't yet implemented systems to enable fast cash transfers around the clock. If this is the case and your application is not approved until after 3pm, or on a weekend or bank holiday, you'll get the funds on the morning of the next business day.
