It's crucial to prepare for bank holidays as you approach them during the year to prevent any delays in payments.
In order to guarantee that payments are credited before non-processing days, we recommend processing payments 3-5 business days before the bank holiday.
To assist you in preparing for these non-processing days, we recommend referring to official government or payment system websites, extracted below in this article.
This provides you with a detailed overview of all the non-processing days throughout 2025 in your specific country, allowing you to effectively plan and manage your payments.
We encourage all Ignition payments users to take note of these important dates and deadlines to minimize any potential disruptions due to the upcoming bank holidays.
