• Saves you time – no more cheques to write, no more queuing to pay!
  
• Saves you money – no more stamps to buy!
  
• Lower administration costs – by reducing handling costs you can help keep business rates as low as possible
  
• Gives you peace of mind – your bank/building society makes sure your bill is paid on time
  
• Full guarantee against errors – see the direct debit guarantee

You'll be notified of the amounts to be debited at least 14 days before the first payment date.
