In 2025, some of the Christmas holidays will fall on weekdays. Weekday holidays affect when your earnings-related daily allowance will be credited to your account.
When we pay your daily allowance, the money will be credited to your account within two banking days. A banking day is a day when the bank is open and can process payments. A public holiday is not a banking day. Therefore, a public holiday that falls on the payment date will change the time it takes for the payment to be processed.
In practice, a banking day means that if we send you a payment on Monday, for example, the money will be in your account within two banking days, i.e. on Wednesday. If there is a public holiday in between, for example on Tuesday, the money will not be in your account until Thursday.
This year, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are weekdays. New Year’s Day and Epiphany also fall on weekdays. These days are not banking days, so they affect when your earnings-related allowance will be in your account.
