Does the expression "due date" take the definite article?

Is it OK to say without "the"? "He is going to have to show up at the bank on due date"?

:up: But with other nouns, there may be no 'the'. You can pay a bill either on the due date or in due course - your creditor would prefer the former! ;-)
