Notification of Transfer Delays for Christmas 2025 and New Year's Day 2026

With the holiday season approaching, here’s a reminder of the key upcoming dates:

  • 25 December 2025 – Christmas Day
  • 26 December 2025
  • 31 December 2025 – New Year’s Eve
  • 1 January 2026 – New Year’s Day

As with all public holidays, you can continue to send payments and top up your balances during this period, but you may experience a delay of 1-2 days. This is due to banks worldwide operating different opening hours over holiday periods.

  • Christmas Day: Trading will be closed from 08:00 GMT until 18:15 GMT on 25 December 2025.
  • New Year’s Day: Trading will be closed from 22:00 GMT on 31 December 2025 until 18:15 GMT on 1 January 2026.
