July bank holiday

I’m due paid on the 13th July and would be able to get it early on the 12tg so just wondering would it show up early on the 11th instead

There is no July bank holiday in the UK this year - the next ones are 7th August in Scotland and 28th August elsewhere in the UK.

Damn - I should’ve looked in my iOS calendar where it says Battle of the Boyne.

No mention of it on the uk.gov bank holiday calendar.

Even BACS don’t give much clarity on the NI BHs - I think it will depend on what your payment processor follows.

As far as I know, Monzo will follow England and Wales bank hols for it’s processing, but depends on what provider your employer will link to.

Banks are mostly based in England so operate to English bank holidays. They don’t take account of specific NI, Scotland or Wales holidays. Except presumably for the relatively few banks based in NI or Scotland (are there any based in Wales?).

I’m a bit sad that we are slowly drifting back down to 8 BH’s per year, from a high of 10 in 2022.

Paid early accounts for bank holidays in England though. If I’m paid on the Tuesday and the Monday is a bank holiday I can get the money on the Friday.

Unless I’m completely misremembering.

And I could be.

And now I’m thinking I might be.

I probably am.

You are not, you’re quite correct with your first paragraph, before the doubt set in!

Plus point of being in NI… we got 13 in 2022 and 2023 but back to our usual 12 in 2024.

Not sure where you’re looking, but the gov.uk definitely shows the NI bank holidays correctly!

Me neither! I clicked on a link after doing a search, so maybe it just took me to the England ones.
