Banking days API

This resource is used to check whether a specific day is an Australian Direct Debit banking day and whether transactions will be processed on that day.

This is useful to help with selecting a date for your payments based on a desired settlement date. This resource can also help with reconciliation of payments when it might not be known whether settlement will occur on that day.

Some payments may require additional processing that will mean a payment may not be processed on a particular day. Use the Get Payment Details resource to check the date and details of a payment
