    Monday I would say, all my payments that land on the wkd are paid after the weekend.

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    You may find that they charge it to your account over the weekend. So if you have any money in tehre you won't be able to get it back.
    I assume you get paid on Monday

    Who do you bank with?
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.
  • Bank with Halifax, however have some money coming in on Monday, so would ideally come out Monday :-)

    Halifax update Monday's transactions about 10 pm on Sunday night - so you should be OK - money in and MBNA out then.
