Universal Credit: How long does payment take?

Hi,
I'm self-employed. I've been on UC for a few months, but this is the first month that I'm due a payment as my earnings have been low. So it's showing how much I will be getting and that it will be paid in by the 16th. I don't want to rely on it until it's in my account just in case it's clawed back for some reason.
Does anyone know how long it usually takes? Or is it the case that it will be paid on the 16th rather than 'by the 16th'.
Thanks

You will receive payment on Friday for money due on the 16th.
That's because if your payment date is a weekend or bank holiday, it will be paid on the nearest preceding working day.1
