Good to know about Rules for Spaces:
- Rules for Spaces and regular outgoing Standing Orders are processed at the same time of day (0100 UTC). This means if you have a Rule and Standing order set up for the same date, you will need enough funds on that day to cover both.
- If you have Standing Orders that are dependent on your Rules having happened first, you will need to make sure the Standing Order is set for the day after the Rule. This also means that if you want to prioritize your Standing Orders they need to be set for the day before your Rules.
- Overdrafts and Rules for Spaces: If you have an activated Overdraft, a Rule will still be processed automatically even if your balance is negative. If you don’t have an active Overdraft, the Rule won’t be applied if you don’t have sufficient funds for it.
