standing order

Quick heads-up:

We’ll need three working days to amend a standing order.

If you don’t have three working days, you could cancel the standing order on your mobile app before 6pm the day before the payment is due to go out. That will recall the payment. Then set up a new standing order with the amended details.

If you need to amend a standing order that’s due to go out in the next 2 working days then you can do so by contacting telephone banking or visiting a branch.
