NatWest & weekend payment changes

Novice_investor101

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on how NatWest have changed the way payments are now taken over a weekend?

I've read on their site that any payments due in or out on a Monday will show on a Monday, & not the Saturday before as previously happened.
But I have a standing order that pays out on the 27th of each month. Today is saturday the 27th. The money hasn't been moved today (still on the balance of the sending account & not on the balance of the receiving account). The standing order summary in the mobile app says the next payment is due to go out on the 27th Feb, so it looks like this month's hasn't sent.
Their website only refers to payments which are due on a Monday, but nothing about payments that are due to go out on a Saturday. This was never a problem before....
Anyone any idea if the SO will send? Should I do it manually & risk it going twice? Or just wait til Monday?

I would assume that the payment would automatically go out on Monday.

Some other banks have always done this- ie not paying SOs on a weekend/ bh but money goes out first working day.

It will go out early Monday morning.

As long as it is set up correctly for the 27th of each month it will take pace on Monday 29th January..

I have banked with NatWest for many years and scheduled future payments are not shown after about 6:00 pm on the working day before the payment day. It has caused many people to manually make the payment and end up with it going out twice.

The SO has been running for years, luckily it is just a payment from my current account on payday to my bills Piggybank account, so it's not an imperative payment. Hugely confusing, tho. Thanks for your replies, I'll leave well alone til Monday
