Bacs Christmas and New Year processing dates 2008/2009 

Remember that over the Christmas and New Year period there are extra Bacs non processing days - so don't get caught out!

Christmas and New Year are very busy periods, so be sure to submit your files as early as you can. Did you know that it's possible to submit your file up to 30 calendar days in advance of the processing date? But if for any reason you can't submit in advance, we recommend early submission on the input day (from 7 a.m. onwards).
