Public holidays and payouts

Updated 10 November 2026

Bayarcash does not pay out on a public holiday in Kuala Lumpur. The 2 working days (T+2) do not count these holidays, the same as a Saturday or a Sunday. This applies to all payouts.

The holidays are the national holidays and the Kuala Lumpur holidays (New Year’s Day, Thaipusam, Federal Territory Day and Nuzul Al-Quran). A holiday that is only in a different state does not change the payouts.

How a holiday moves a payout

A payment that you receive before the 12:00 AM cutoff goes to your bank 2 working days later, after 5:00 PM. A holiday is not a working day. So when a holiday falls on the payout day, or between the payment and the payout, the payout moves 1 working day later.

For example, Monday 9 November 2026 was the Deepavali replacement holiday:

A payment on Thursday 5 November went to the bank on Tuesday 10 November, not on Monday 9 November.
A payment on Friday 6 November went to the bank on Wednesday 11 November, not on Tuesday 10 November.

The “Next payout” column shows the first payout after each holiday. That payout has the payments that the holiday delayed.

Common issues

Which public holidays stop payouts?

The public holidays in Kuala Lumpur. These are the national holidays and the Kuala Lumpur holidays: New Year's Day, Thaipusam, Federal Territory Day and Nuzul Al-Quran. This applies to all payouts.

Does a state holiday in my state stop my payout?

No. A holiday that is only in a different state, for example Hari Raya Qurban (second day) in Kelantan and Terengganu, does not change the payout date. Your bank can still take more time to show the money.

What happens when the government announces a new holiday?

Bayarcash does not pay out on that day, and the payouts move to the next working day. We add the day to this page when it is announced.

Why is my payout 2 days later than I expected?

A holiday on the payout day or before it moves the payout. T+2 counts only working days. Use the payout date checker on this page to see the date for your payment.
