Change your Direct Debit

It’s quick and easy to make changes to your Direct Debit instruction.

Keep in mind if you make any changes within 5 days of your next Direct Debit payment, they won't take effect until the next calendar month.

If we need to change the amount you pay each month

Depending on the type of mortgage you have, there may be times when we need to make a change to the amount you pay each month, such as after a change to your interest rate. If this happens we'll automatically update your Direct Debit, so you won't need to take any action. We'll always write to you in advance to let you know of any changes to the amount you pay each month.

Restart a cancelled Direct Debit

If you’ve cancelled a Direct Debit payment to your mortgage but would like to restart it, you can use our online form to set it back up quickly, using the same bank details as before.

Restart a Direct Debit

If you don’t bank with us and cancelled your Direct Debit more than two months ago, we may need to contact you for more details.

If you’d like to change the account you pay from, please see below to find out how.

Change the account you pay from

You'll need to complete a Direct Debit Instruction form (PDF, 183KB) and return it to us. Or, call us on 0345 603 1637 and one of our advisers will set up the new instruction for you over the phone. We’re available Monday to Friday 8am-8pm and Saturday 9am-4pm.

However you tell us, you're still covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee (PDF, 183KB). We'll also write to you to confirm your Direct Debit Instruction.

Change the date you pay

You can ask to change your payment date by calling us on 0345 603 1637. We’re available Monday to Friday 8am-8pm and Saturday 9am-4pm.

Before you change your payment date, it's worth noting that:

  • You can only choose a date between the 1st and 28th
    Your payment needs to be made on the same date each month.
  • It's better to make your monthly payments on the 1st of each month
    For most accounts we calculate interest daily, so paying on the 1st of each month should mean that you'll pay less interest.
  • You might need to make two payments in a short space of time
    If you change your payment date from the end of the month to the beginning, such as from 28th and to the 5th, we'll ask you to make two mortgage payments in the space of a few days.
  • Your monthly payment amount may rise or fall
    We'll always tell you if there will be any change to your monthly payment amount. If it does change, in most cases the difference will be small.

Make an overpayment

If you have some spare cash that you'd like to use to help pay off your mortgage more quickly, it's easy to tell us online. You can make a one-off lump sum overpayment, or set up an instruction to overpay a little extra each month. If you set up a regular overpayment, we'll automatically update your existing Direct Debit.
