Setting up a
standing order

In a nutshell

When you set up a standing order, you tell us to pay a fixed amount to someone from your account at regular intervals (for example, monthly) on a fixed date.

You can set it up for a specific number of payments or cancel it when you no longer need it.

Standing orders are used more frequently to pay individuals however can be used for companies too.
