Service breaks in the Positive credit register in 2026

The Incomes Register Unit has confirmed the planned service breaks in the Positive credit register for next year. We use service breaks to update the system, add new features and carry out other procedures.

As usual, service interruptions will continue to be on Wednesday mornings. The service break on 1 April 2026 will be used to deploy the second stage of the register, and we recommend preparing for it in good time with stakeholder testing.
