The payout rails in Gibraltar

Faster Payments

Paid out by Kraken.

Faster Payments is the United Kingdom's near real time sterling transfer scheme, operated by Pay.UK and regulated by the Payment Systems Regulator. Almost all internet and mobile banking payments between UK accounts run over it, which is why a pound deposit to an exchange normally arrives this way rather than by CHAPS. It moves money account to account using a sort code and account number, and it runs every day of the year including weekends and bank holidays.

The rail itself: Payments are processed in near real time and can be sent and received 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a deposit usually lands within seconds.
