dividend payments - does it matter where they go?

Faster payments should mean that if your wife wants to transfer money (up to that bank's limit) to another account it should only take a day to do it online.

Transfers between HSBC (including First Direct) accounts have been instant for years.

Indeed, I was also surprised to find out that transfers between my personal HSBC account and the comapnies HSBC account are also instant

Inter-bank payments are now also instant if you use one of the "big" banks.

Are there any left?

My wife is also a shareholder, our plan is to pay the divdend individaully and agree an amount to which we will both subscribe to our joint account. Keeping things seperate means that each of us can do our own thing as far as taxation is concerned.
