Quote ="Adeybull"Card payments are only credited on bank working days, and there is usually a bit of a delay anyway.
I presume they will ask for bank transfer wherever possible, to save credit card commissions. Usually same day value. You would like to think they have worked that out...?
If I was paying my payroll at work, to get value to employees for Friday I would need value in my account on Thurs, Friday if I was prepared to pay more, provided my bank had upgraded from BACS to Faster Payments.
We WERE told mid-April, so that suggests they don't need it all for value Tues?
Not sure if any of the above helps at all, but I offer it as a bit of generic info.'"
I have to disagree with your first sentence. All debit card payments made to my business through the online banking system are instant regardless of the day of the week or whether it's a Bank Holiday or not. Indeed even paper "Giro" receipts sent from the Office are processed overnight even at weekends. Credit card payments, I cannot comment on.
