The above is based on Wednesday 25-Dec being Xmas day, Thursday 26-Dec being Boxing Day and Wednesday 01-Jan being New Years Day. Thursday 02-Jan is a bank holiday in Scotland, but Monzo doesn’t observe Scottish BH’s?
Much less dramatic since they moved us from the 27th to the 15th a few years ago, but also makes the January pay date seem less like it is always seven weeks off
Great resource for those still at the end of the month
I have been given conflicting info regarding the get paid early feature, I also get paid on the 27th December so can somebody confirm that I will be able to get paid early after 4pm on Christmas eve please?
Live chat AI agent told me that the 24th December is outside of the BACS processing period and also a live chat agent gave me a vague answer and for me to try asking my employer/merchant to pay me early which I can’t do!.
If paid via BACS for 27-Dec, you’ll see it as a greyed-out incoming transaction in the feed during the morning of 24-Dec and can claim it early from 4pm on 24-Dec
If paid via Faster payments, you’ll receive it at some point without advanced notice on 27-Dec
