Echeque question

[MrsSmith22]

Hi everyone I received and Echeque for the first time this week for a fairly substantial amount. We are in the UK btw. It’s sat in my account as received but in the pending section. It was only sent Tuesday night so I don’t expect to see any movement until the end of next week but I keep reading about estimated clearance dates and I haven’t got anything like that showing up. Is that a red flag or is that normal to not have that date? Thanks

Clearance date is normally on the senders side as per link.

However as you said its estimated as its up to the senders banks processing times but allow 5-7 days.
