When we pay you the daily allowance, the money will be in your account within two banking days. Public holidays are not bank days, so they change the time it takes to transmit payments.
There are now two public holidays in May: May Day and Ascension Day. Public holidays are not bank days. A banking day is a day on which the bank is open and can contribute to the transmission of a payment transaction.
In practice, a bank day means that if we send you a payment on a Tuesday, for example, the money will be in your account within two bank days on Thursday. If we send you a payment on Thursday, the money will not be in your account until Monday, as Saturday and Sunday are not bank days.
This year, May 1st is Wednesday. If we send you a payment on Tuesday, the money will not be in your account until Friday, because Wednesday is not a bank day.
If we send you a payment on Tuesday 7 May, the money will not be in your account until Friday because Thursday is not a bank day.
