Introduction

Custom calendars allow the Lender to keep to its customizable calendar with easy-to-add holidays and weekends. Users authorized to use the Settings workplace can easily:

  • Define a specific day as a bank holiday

  • Set the holiday date as an annual one

  • Edit holiday details

  • Remove holidays from the calendar

This seemingly small change allows for convenient use of the system and awareness of all its users about the working schedule of the Lender. Moreover, the custom calendar will affect the date-rolling feature of a Credit Product.

Date Rolling is an automatic move of due dates that fall on the weekend or bank holiday to a working day (most commonly - to the nearest following working day). This way, the Lender won’t have to deal with the cases when an observant Customer misses the due date because it falls on a bank holiday.
Such an approach is beneficial for the Lender’s employees who won’t need to spend time and effort to report such delays, and what is even more important, for the Customers who will feel respected and won’t need to adjust their usual payment routines or worry about missing a due date.

By default, the calendar will contain all the holidays defined for the specific country edition. If any other holidays have been added for the company, they will also be added. The calendar is opened for the current year and month. All the holidays defined for the company (if any) are displayed in the table below the year selection.
