Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions about standing orders.
It’s best to make sure you have enough funds in the account for your standing order at least a day before the scheduled payment date.
If you don’t have enough money in your account at that time, we'll try again after 2.30pm the same day. This gives you the chance to put extra money into your account.
The money you pay in needs to be available to use straight away. So you could transfer money from another personal account you have with us or pay in cash in branch.
If there still isn't enough money in your account at 2.30pm, we'll try one last time on the next working day. Then we'll reject the payment.
Standing orders are usually processed on the same day they are set up. However, allow between three to five working days for it to clear.
You can easily change or cancel your standing order by logging onto your Internet Banking account or visiting your local branch.
If you’re banking online, simply select the Direct Debits and standing orders tab under ‘More Actions’ and click manage standing orders. Here you can stop or change a standing order you have set up.
A standing order mandate is a form with your own and the payee’s bank details, as well as the amount, date of payments and occurrence. Once you fill in the mandate, you can send it to your bank to set up the standing order on your behalf.
We don’t process standing orders on a weekend or bank holiday. If a standing order payment is due on a non-working day, we’ll make it on the next working day.
