A safe, cost-effective easy way to pay. Compared to other payment methods, monthly direct debiting offers you the following advantages:

  • Saves you time – the amount automatically changes each year without you having to do anything, and you'll be notified at least 14 days before the first payment date.
  • Saves you money – no phone calls to make when payment is due.
  • Lower administration costs – it's the cheapest way to administer payments.
  • Gives you peace of mind – your bank/building society makes sure your bill is paid on time.
  • Gives you a full guarantee against errors.
