Bank holidays

Learn how to configure bank holidays to calculate value dates in Mambu Payments (formerly Numeral)

Bank holidays

Bank holidays are days on which a clearing house (e.g., STEP2 or T2) does not process payments. Bank holidays vary by clearing house. Refer to your clearing house for their official bank holidays schedule.

Direct participants to clearing houses must ensure they do not send payment instructions on bank holidays. Mambu Payments automatically calculates value dates based on:

  • Cut-off times
  • Weekends
  • Bank holidays
