I've tried the online chat woth barclays and it says 'if you're getting in touch because you've not recieved a child benefit payment- these payments are due to be paid between Monday 3rd June and Tuesday 4th june. Please check your account after this time' so we could all be paid tomorrow.

I bank with Nationwide and haven’t got mine either. Embarrassingly, one of my direct debits has now failed as I was slightly short (because of the missing child benefit payment) 🤦🏻‍♀️ how fun! 😭🤦🏻‍♀️

It's all over twitter or X which ever you want to call it. Been issues all weekend so HMRC commented on one of the posts saying should b in bank by Tuesday but that's no good to people who need this more than ever this morning

It's due in by Tuesday. They've always said its due by Tuesday

So call your bank and explain that it is due to the obviously widespread CB issue and ask for a temporary overdraft (increase) to cover it.

Many banks say something like 'if you put the money in by 3 pm on the same day, the payment will be made at the end of the day' and you'll not be charged. If you are charged, ask for it to be refunded.
