    • Yeah I’m the same my payment is usually due on Monday but always get it Saturday. Didn’t get anything yet. Must be some delays with the banks.

  4. I am bank of ireland and usually get my illness on a sat morning, still nothing! Hopefully it will be there tomorrow 🙏 Twitter has a BOI page and you can message them directly for help! They did mention about a European outage on Friday so maybe that’s has something to do with it!
