Hello,

Please I want to find out if anyone has paid PEO fee using electronic banker's draft for his ILR. That means money will be in home office account same time you visit the bank for the draft? Was there any issue with PEO reconciling this during the appointment? What are the requirements?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

bankers draft is a cheque issued by the bank to home office but is guaranteed as the funds are debited from your account when the cheque is issued and held in the banks suspense account until the home office deposits the cheque.

when you present the cheque at peo appointment, they will link it to your application.

i used this method for ilr and had no problems

thank you. It's a very safe method of paying. Applicant and Home office need not worry about the payment of visa fees.Home office get their funds immediately.

agree, my bank told me they do many for home office apps because its so secure unlike debit cards that are sometimes rejected because of large fees debited.

Agreed. It's really true. When your Card is rejected Home Office refuse the Application. But when your payment has gone through and your application has been rejected,they don't refund the Visafees.

Thank you so much CR001 and Kevin24.

One more thing, please. My bank Natwest asked me for the account number and sort code of home office for them to prepare the elctronic draft. Please where can I get that info?

Don't quite understand what you are asking for. A bankers' draft is not an electronic payment process like online banking. I think you are asking for the incorrect service from your bank.

I used Natwest and simply went into my branch and asked for a Bankers' Draft to the value of £2025 and picked up the bank issued cheque the next day and it was clearly made out to Home Office and my account was debited.

I think I have to go back and explain it further to them. May be the bank officer did not understand my request properly. Thank you for your response.
