    As it's English it be like a cheque I would think about 10-14 working days, check with your bank when you lodged

    It can take up to 20 days for the chq to be full cleared (ie for there to be no chance of the draft being returned unpaid) however, you will most likely be able to draw the funds after 5 working days.

    It depends completely on the bank / branch. I can draw on the funds straight away. Having said that it is usually only a couple of hundred at the most. If I went in with 10k they might treat it a little differently.
