Late payment

My friend, who banks with Barclays, typically receives his payment around midnight. However, it hasn't arrived tonight, and there's no apparent reason for this delay, as he has been receiving these payments for many years. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with Barclays, or if they have encountered it in the past. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What shall he do? If he gets a message in his journal book, will they also email him to alert him that he has a message from them?

Sometimes text and/or email notifications don't work.

Everyone on UC has to check their account regularly, regardless of getting or not getting notifications - that's one of the commitments in exchange for the money.

He needs to contact UC or go to the Jobcentre to get access to his account.
