Benefits of Paying by Direct Debit Switching to Direct Debit offers a range of advantages for customers, depending on how you currently make your payments.
Why choose Direct Debit?
• No more reminders needed
Payments are collected automatically on the agreed date, so there’s no need to remember due dates or make manual payments.
• Stay informed
You’ll receive automated notifications in advance of payments being taken, and any changes to your Direct Debit will be clearly communicated.
• Full control and protection
You’re covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee, which means you can request an immediate refund if a payment is ever taken in error.
• Avoid late payment chases
Since payments are collected automatically, you won’t be contacted or chased for overdue payments.
• Easier to manage changes
If the payment amount changes, there’s no need to do anything manually. The change is processed automatically and you’ll be notified—no need to set up a new Direct Debit.
• No need to update card details
Unlike card payments, you won’t have to update details if your card expires or is lost or stolen. As long as your bank account stays the same, your Direct Debit will continue uninterrupted.
• Helps with budgeting
You’ll know exactly how much is being taken and when, making it easier to manage your finances.
