What it means for payments
DZD is a pay-out-only currency: we buy it and pay it out by SWIFT straight away, and it can’t be held or received. When ARTS / ATCI is closed, the beneficiary’s bank credits the payment on its next business day.
The value date is the day the money is available to the beneficiary. A closing day on either side of a payment, sender’s or receiver’s, pushes it back. Timings are typical, never guaranteed.

Questions
- How many DZD bank holidays are there in 2027?
- 14 closing days in our 2027 calendar for ARTS / ATCI, of which 11 fall on a working day and so delay payments. 5 of the holidays depend on the moon sighting and are marked Expected until they are officially announced.
- What is the settlement weekend for DZD?
- Friday and Saturday. ARTS / ATCI does not settle on those days, so a payment released on them is processed on the next business day.
- Why are some DZD holidays marked “Expected”?
- Islamic holidays follow the lunar calendar and are fixed by an official announcement after the moon sighting, usually a day or two before. Until then we show the astronomical estimate, which can move by a day. We switch the status to Confirmed once the announcement is out.
- What happens to DZD payments on a bank holiday?
- It is accepted but not settled until the next day the clearing system is open, so the value date moves forward. Typical timings only; they are never guaranteed. The payment calendar tool works out the landing day for a corridor.
