How do I cancel a Direct Debit?

Notify the company you’re paying before cancelling

A Direct Debit is an agreement between you and a company (such as a phone company or a gym). You’ll need to let them know before you cancel, or you could be charged for missed payments. Direct Debits are covered by the Direct Debit guarantee.

For mortgages or loans give us a call on 0800 30 20 11 (Monday – Friday 8am - 8pm, Saturday 9am - 5pm) or visit us in branch.

For credit cards, call 0800 055 66 11 (Mon- Fri 8am-10pm; Sat 8am-8pm; Sun 9am-5pm). You’ll need to have your account details to hand.

Can't find the Direct Debit you want to cancel?

If it’s not listed alongside your other Direct Debits, it might be a recurring card payment.
