Paying your credit card bill by Direct Debit

With a Direct Debit your bill is paid on time automatically each month. This means you don't need to worry about late payment fees and remembering to make a payment each month.

How to set up a Direct Debit

You’ll need

the account number and sort code of the bank account you are paying from
your 16-digit credit card number

A new Direct Debit will be confirmed on your next statement. Until then, please make sure you continue to pay by your usual method.

You can choose one of three options for your Direct Debit

Pay the minimum amount owed each month
Pay off the outstanding balance each month
Pay a set amount each month. If this is less than the minimum payment in any month, then we will take the minimum payment so that you don't incur a late payment fee

You can change between any of the three payment options any time online (if you're registered for online banking), or by calling us on the number above.

Always check your next statement

Your statement only shows the balance on your card up to the date it was issued. Even if you do not spend any more on the card after the statement issue date, interest may still be accruing on your balance.

That's why it's really important to check your next statement after you have paid off the full balance indicated on your statement. There may be interest or additional spending from the days after your statement was issued, that will still need to be paid off.

Allow enough time for the payment to not only reach us, but be processed as well
