The upcoming August bank holiday falls on Monday, August 26th and may affect your Bacs processing. Service Users may need to send Direct Debit and/or Bacs Direct Credit files to Bacs on a different date than usual to ensure that collections and payments are made on time. To help your Bacs planning over the August Bank Holiday, see our helpful table below:
Date you want to receive Direct Debits or ensure Direct Credit payments arrive | Latest date to send transactions to Bacs |
| Friday 23rd August | Wednesday 21st August |
| Tuesday 27th August | Thursday 22nd August |
| Wednesday 28th August | Friday 23rd August |
| Thursday 29th August | Tuesday 27th August |
Remember:
- you can submit files up to 30 calendar days in advance of the processing date
- you can check the details of files that have been submitted on Payment Services website. This allows you to confirm the volume, value and date of payments.
- Direct debits due on the Bank Holiday should be collected the day after, not the day before the due date.
- to help your Bacs planning over this and other holiday periods such as Christmas, you can download the Bacs Processing Calendar.
