The sending bank will have their Bank of England settlement account debited by the central FPS system, based on the central FPS system's view of the world, at the end of the settlement cycle.

The recipient bank will receive the money into their settlement account at that time. If the sending bank doesn't debit their customer then both sending and receiving customers will have the money in their accounts, but the sending bank will be out of pocket.
