submitted ucas application 5 minutes late

im worried i submitted my application 5 minutes late as ive had trouble with the payments that i forgot about. i had the payment open 5 minutes prior to deadline however, i had issues with payments and could only send it 5 minutes after the deadline.

will i be ignored and declined?

There's a bit of leeway built into the system so your application will more than likely be flagged as 'on time' anyway.

Does it matter if UCAS doesn't process the application before the deadline?

All that matters is that you're on the submit page and pressing the button before the deadline (and if you're CLOSE to the deadline then taking screenshots showing the time)
