I transferred £250 from my Nationwide Flexaccount to my Tesco's Clubcard Mastercard today (Saturday 28/11/2020). I then checked my Tesco's account a few hours later and the money had not arrived. In 2017 Tesco's changed the sort code and account number of the accounts they receive incoming customer payments from. Then in 2019 Tesco accidentally started putting the old payment details on the backs of their statements again in error, instead of the new ones. My payment was sent in error from Nationwide to the old Tesco account details, but with the correct Mastercard number in the "payment reference" field.
So instead of being sent to account number 31310006, sort code 40-64-15, it was instead sent to account number 31316044, sort code 40-02-50. Have I lost the money for ever, or will the payment be delayed, and if so by how long? Some banks automatically updated their users stored bank transfer details automatically for them back in 2017, but Nationwide did not.
