Pip pays you every month on the last business day of the month. Not the last calendar day, but the last business day.
Think of it like this: if the 31st falls on a Saturday, you’re not going to see that money until the following Monday. It’s like having a birthday that falls on a holiday—you celebrate it a little early or a little late, but you always get your cake.
So for example, if you’re reading this in March, your payment would land on Friday, March 31st (if it’s a weekday). But if it were July, and the 31st is a Monday, you’re good. The rule is business days only.
Why Does This Matter to You?
Imagine you’re planning a little weekend getaway with friends. You need to know if that Pip money will show up on Friday or Monday, right? One wrong guess and you’re splitting the pizza with a credit card you promised you’d stop using.
Knowing the exact date helps you avoid that awkward moment when you’re at the grocery checkout, and your card gets declined because you were counting on the deposit that hasn’t arrived yet. It’s the adult version of “the check is in the mail”—except Pip actually is sending it.
This is also huge for bill planners. If your rent is due on the 1st, and Pip pays you on the last business day, you’re golden. But if the last business day happens to fall on the 30th, and rent is due on the 1st, you have a comfy cushion. That’s the kind of peace of mind that lets you sleep better at night.
