Deposit via Faster Payments
Fund your digital-dollar balance with an eligible GBP bank deposit.
Use Faster Payments to fund Peanut when this bank deposit method appears in your verified account. Send only the currency shown, using the current bank details and reference. You can send any amount; your balance is credited with what arrives. Your credited balance is held in digital dollars.
Before you send
Bank deposits require identity verification and account eligibility. Access depends on your verified residence; having a bank account in a supported country is not enough. New York residents are excluded from the relevant bank onboarding. See the verification guide.
For this method, the currency is GBP and the minimum is £3. If more than one currency is offered, select the intended currency first. Use a bank account that can send the selected type of transfer. Check your bank's transfer limits and any charges before proceeding.

Wait for processing and balance credit. A bank's completed status alone does not prove that the deposit has been credited.
Cost and timing
Your GBP deposit converts to digital dollars. Conversion costs are included in the all-in quote; check the amount to be credited. Your bank may also charge its own transfer fee.
The source estimate for this route is rail settlement typically under 15 seconds, available 24/7. The underlying rail operates around the clock. A fast bank settlement does not guarantee immediate credit in Peanut. Bank checks, inaccurate details and additional review can delay the deposit. Transactions above $100,000 equivalent may require further information.
If your deposit has not appeared
Compare the currency, reference and bank details with the instructions from Peanut. Keep the sender's name, bank receipt, date and transfer reference. Check the deposit troubleshooting guide or contact support with this evidence. Avoid sending again solely to resolve an unclear status.
FAQ
What currency should I send?
Use GBP as offered in Peanut for this route. Do not send another currency to the same details without checking the app's instructions.
How much does the deposit cost?
Your GBP deposit converts to digital dollars. Conversion costs are included in the all-in quote; check the amount to be credited. Your bank may also charge its own transfer fee.
How long does it take?
The estimate is rail settlement typically under 15 seconds, available 24/7. Processing and checks can take longer; confirm arrival in your Peanut balance.
Can someone else fund this deposit?
Not on the details for a one-off deposit: send those from a bank account in your own name. To be paid by an employer or a client, open a GBP account in Peanut (Accounts → Open new account). Your own account and businesses can pay into it; another person cannot. Our banking partner holds the account for you, so the payer's bank can show a different name. That does not block the payment.
