UK Debanking - Lloyds & Barclycard query

Re: iDeCo Application with Monex 2024

A follow up query to my iDeCo application; On the documents received from JIS&T my first payment was listed as being scheduled to be made on 26th March for February's contribution. Money was certainly withdrawn from my Yucho account on this date to 自払 確定拠出掛金 but as yet the withdrawn amount is no...
