ena123 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 this is a bit of a paranoia post and hopefully nothing is wrong. my dad was meant to get his miners pension paid on friday 28/2 (obviously in british business hours) today 01/03 it is still not in his australian bank account. In these days of instant payments, we expected it to be transferred by now Do you think something has gone wrong (wrong bank account or something similar) or is this just a normal time lag for this type of payment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While instant transfers do exists (even internationally) you can't count on that method being used. Because you don't know when on the 28/2 the transfer was sent Australian banking hours may already have ended. Saturday and Sunday do not count as banking days (they can be used for instant transfers but if this transfer isn't one then they won't be used) so the next Banking day is Monday 2/3. Which is today. So please update did it arrive today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ena123 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 no it hasn’t arrived yet today. thanks for providing some reassurance i’d like to think it’s just because money moves monday night not monday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ena123 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 just to update the miners pension scheme made a mistake and did not do the payment, despite sending a letter with the payment date we are hopefully getting confirmation of an individual payment. run soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a quarterly newsletter too, Christmas bonus, rises every now and then. I did my apprenticeship with the NCB and then worked as a fitter for about 8 years. Considering what I paid in I think I get a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
