Standing orders are usually processed on the same day they are set up. Allow 3 to 5 working days for the money to reach the recipient.
-
First, check your account to see if the money has already been returned.
If it has, you can resend the payment with the right details.
If it hasn’t and you know the recipient, the easiest and quickest way to get your money back is to contact them directly.
If you don't know them, if you don’t want to contact them or if the account you paid is closed, call us.
We’ll try to recover the money for you. Be aware that we may not be able to help you. In that case you‘ll need to contact the bank you made the payment to.
-
We don’t process standing orders on a weekend or bank holiday. If a standing order payment is due on a non-working day, we’ll make it on the next working day.
-
It’s best to make sure you have enough funds in the account for your standing order at least a day before the scheduled payment date.
If you don’t have enough money in your account at that time, we'll try again after 2.30pm the same day. This gives you the chance to put extra money into your account.
You need to pay in money that can be used straight away. So you could transfer money from another personal account you have with us or pay in cash in branch.
If there still isn't enough money in your account at 2.30pm, we'll try one last time on the next working day. Then we'll reject the payment.
When this happens, your standing order stops until the next scheduled payment.
