    They would have done it on Thursday or Friday (most likely Friday).

    The good old BACs system took about 3-5 working days to clear. Unfortunately, it is therefore not possible to tell you a day of when the money should have been paid in.
    BACs is normally used (90% of the time by employers) to pay their staff. Thus it is likely this format of payment will have been used.
    Best Regards

    it's either performed thursday night or friday morning, submission cut-offs tend to vary but it's usually around 17:00 each day

    Friday would be input day.

    BACS can be recalled on processing day, but not always successful, the would still show in the payees bsnk as a reversal.
    These are my thoughts and no one else's, so like any public forum advice - check it out before entering into contracts or spending your hard earned cash!

    I don't know everything, however I do try to point people in the right direction but at the end of the day you can only ever help yourself!
