As I was reading through the forum, I thought i’d give my 2 cents worth.

Salaries are usually always paid using the BACS payment system which takes 3 working days to clear, and its 3 working days are only Monday to Friday as Saturday is not considered a banking day. FP is instant (nearly) which some smaller companies opt to use instead of BACS. Either method your company chooses to pay you it should be adhered to the same at Mondo as any other bank. As you said it appears on the Saturday I would expect your company to be using the Faster Payment scheme to pay you.

England boss Gareth Southgate not afraid to do it his way ahead of World Cup as decision to axe Dele Alli against Italy pays off

FOR a softly-spoken safe-pair-of-hands ‘yes man’, Gareth Southgate doesn’t half go about upsetting a lot of people. England’s manager, so often caricatured incorrectly as a Mr Nice Guy, started his reign by freezing out his nation’s all-time record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney. And he has continued to show scant regard for the reputations of the few […]

Like any company that provides technology to make life easier, we examine the millennial demographic. They are the population sector interested in options – from ways to communicate, to ways to bank. In their April 2016, article, Pew Research Center cited estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau that millennials have now “surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living generation”. A powerful consumer force, the members of this group are working “real jobs” and building careers. They are open to alternatives.

Hi folks

I currently bank with RBS and (as much as I hate them) one thing I like is that when salary is due on a Monday the funds are available on the Saturday before. It can be helpful if funds are running low towards the end of the month and some of my colleagues get envious as I have the option to go out and party and they have to stay indoors!

Direct debits and standing orders are also taken on the Saturday which is also cool as it prevents overspend and then not being able to cover outgoing commitments on the Monday.

I was just wondering how Mondo was going to handle payments on a Monday? Would funds be available on the Saturday?

Still, many of us tend to take better care of our cars than we do our financial life. The irony being, an un-tended financial life can break down just as assuredly as an under-serviced automobile. It can run out of gas, but it can also seize up and need a roadside tow. In short, a well-examined financial life is worth exploring. 1. Schedule. Set a recurring point in time for... Read More

Nope, my bank is the same. My salary isn’t paid by Faster Payments but standard BACS, with the official value date set as the Monday (always the 15th as it happens*). It’s just that the bank counts Saturday/Sunday/Holidays as part of Monday and so credits/DDs etc appear shortly after midnight on Saturday. Other banks count Saturday etc as part of Friday and so credits appear shortly after midnight on Saturday.

In my experience, RBS/NatWest and Barclays operate Saturday=Monday while Lloyds/TSB/Nationwide/Metro operate Saturday=Friday. I’d much prefer the Barclays option!

*My employer recently switched to paying on a Friday if the 15th falls at the weekend, until this year payday being on the 15th meant we didn’t officially get the money until the Monday (or Tuesday after a bank holiday) so it could be as late as the 18th if you didn’t bank with RBS/NatWest/Barclays!

Emerging Peer-to-peer payment technology is growing in popularity, and will soon make back-of-napkin IOUs obsolete. Peer-to-peer payment, also known as P2P payment, is online technology that allows users to transfer funds from a bank account or credit card via the internet or mobile phone. One study found that nearly a quarter of mobile users sent money to another person from an app in 2016 — this statistic nearly triples when it comes to the millennial generation. The growing trend of P2P payment is just another chapter in 21st century technological augmentation of traditional services.

The new initiative, what Visa executive Jack Forestall calls “a journey to go cashless,” will incentivize vendors to rip off the bandaid of paper transactions and progress to a cashless system. The money can be used for marketing and updating point of sale technology to focus payment exclusively on credit and debit cards and electronic payment. Visa will select participating merchants in August. Cash remains the predominate method of payment, according to the Federal Reserve. A report... Read More

Your Guide to Direct Deposit During the Holidays

by rapid! PayCard @ rapid! PayCard

Thu Nov 16 05:07:27 PST 2017

The holiday season is around the corner, which for some means eggnog and lights on display, but for others it means payroll delays. Automated payment through direct deposit is proven to be more efficient, secure and cost-effective than paper checks. Still, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when switching over to electronic payment — especially around the holidays. The holiday season is a double-edged sword: it’s likely the most expensive time of the year, but is also full of banking holidays which can affect the timeliness of direct deposit. Here’s why.

If your payments are due on Monday and are done via the BACS scheme, if the funds appear on a Saturday this is entirely under the banks descretion to credit your account before they recieve the money.

The BACS payments are only processed Monday to Friday. If the second day is a Friday and after 11am the bank will know they will recieve your funds on the Monday and so can choose to credit your account on the Saturday, before 11am your payments may be cancelled by your employer but afterwards you’d have to submit a refund request.

So essentially the bank knows on Friday after 11am they will recieve x funds on Monday so will be nice to you and give you your funds on Saturday instead of Monday.

Just so you know all banks consider Monday as Monday and Saturday as Saturday, they don’t fuzz the lines between days and consider a Saturday as a Friday.
