I used to work in international banking operations, and spent a great deal of time doing payments, including interbank payments.
If I remember correctly, Jan 2 is not a bank holiday in the UK overall, although I don't doubt those who are saying that it is in Scotland.
That's because, at least in part, in Scotland, Jan 1 is celebrated as Hogamany(sp?), which is not the same as New Year's Day. So, a day to recover.
Jan 2 is also a holiday in Quebec, but not in the rest of Canada.
Now, here's a bit of a twist. Both Dec 25 and 26 are bank holidays in the UK and in Eire (Ireland), but Dec 27 is also a bank holiday in Eire. And no, I don't know why.

It is a bank holiday in Scotand (where I am) but, even in Scotland, if you work for an English company (as I do) then it's not recognised in a work sense and we don't benefit from it :-(
