Read on for a step-by-step guide on how to transfer money to another bank account.<\/p><h3>Step-by-step guide to domestic transfers<\/h3><p>Before you can transfer money online, you\u2019ll need to make sure you\u2019re registered for your bank\u2019s internet banking service. This is a simple process regardless of whether you\u2019re a new or existing customer, so contact your bank or head to its website to find out how to sign up if you haven&#8217;t already.<\/p><p>Once that\u2019s taken care of, the process of sending a transfer to another UK bank account is quick and easy. For many digital banking apps, you&#8217;re usually given access to online or app-based banking as soon as your account is opened.<\/p><div class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><h4>How to transfer money to another account<\/h4><ol><li>Log in to your internet banking account.<\/li><li>Select the \u201cPayments\u201d or \u201cPayments and Transfers\u201d menu.<\/li><li>If required, select the \u201cTransfer funds\u201d or \u201cMake a payment\u201d option. You may also have the option to select \u201cTransfer funds within the UK\u201d.<\/li><li>Select the account the funds will be transferred from.<\/li><li>Select the account the funds will be transferred to. You will need to provide your recipient\u2019s bank account details (name, sort code and account number) or, if you\u2019ve transferred funds to the same account before, it may be saved in your internet banking portal.<\/li><li>Enter the amount you wish to transfer and write a description.<\/li><li>Review the details of your transfer and submit your payment.<\/li><li>You will be given a receipt for the transaction and you\u2019ll also see the transaction in your transaction history.<\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><h3>What bank account details do I need to send a domestic transfer?<\/h3><p>You only need minimal details in order to send a transfer to someone else\u2019s bank account. The only information your bank will need is:<\/p><ul class=\"list-1\"><li>Your recipient\u2019s sort code and account number<\/li><li>Your recipient\u2019s name for the account.<\/li><\/ul><p>Although the exact process for sending a domestic transfer will vary slightly from one bank to the next, you will typically have the option to either send a one-off transfer or save your recipient\u2019s details for future transactions.<\/p><p>Since 2020, many banks have introduced the &#8216;Confirmation of Payee&#8217; scheme that checks whether the name you&#8217;ve been given matches the name linked to the account number and sort code you&#8217;re paying to reduce the risk of your payment ending up in the wrong account. <\/p><h3>Why might I want to send a domestic transfer?<\/h3><p>There are plenty of reasons why you might need to transfer money to another UK bank account. These include:<\/p><ul class=\"list-7\"><li>Transferring money to a friend or loved one<\/li><li>Buying goods or services<\/li><li>Paying a bill<\/li><li>Paying the rent or mortgage<\/li><li>Paying off your credit card<\/li><li>Transferring funds from your everyday current account into your savings account<\/li><\/ul><p>Whatever the reason you need to send a transfer, it\u2019s quick and easy to do so via your bank\u2019s online banking portal.<\/p><h3>Commonly asked questions about transferring money<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">How long do transfers take?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p>Transfers between UK banks and financial institutions are typically processed within one to two business days.<\/p><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000001\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000001\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Can I set up a recurring transfer?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000001\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p>Yes.
