Payment Delays over Christmas/New Years

Written by Shanin in General at 10:11am, Tue 20 Dec 2011

The banks shut up shop over the Christmas break, which means some payments to Trade Me accounts will be processed a little later than usual.

If you pay via phone or internet banking after 8pm on Friday, 23 December the payment will not be processed to your account until the morning of Thursday 29 December.

The same state of affairs will occur over the New Year's break. If you pay via phone or internet banking after 8pm on Friday 30 December then your payment will not be processed until the morning of Thursday 5 January.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, but that is how the banks roll over the public holidays.

We hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a safe New Year!
