NewsYour Key Easter Bank Holiday BACS Processing Dates.
The Easter Bank Holiday is fast approaching, with the long Easter bank holiday weekend falling 7-10 April this year. It is imperative to plan in plenty of time to ensure that your charity’s payments are collected on time and in accordance with the Service User Guide and Rules so that your Direct Debits can be taken correctly.
If your charity is processing in-house, we understand how stressful bank holiday adjustments can be for your team. As you know, it is vital that your charity’s donations, membership and lottery Direct Debits are taken correctly.
To help you achieve this, we have prepared this useful summary of important dates for your in-house Direct Debit payment processing team:
