Service Detail: Standing Orders
A standing order is an instruction to the bank by an account holder to pay a fixed amount at regular intervals to another account.
Standing orders are typically used to pay rent, subscription or other fixed regular payments. Because the amount paid is fixed, a standing order is not usually suitable for paying utility and other variable bills (for these you can use Direct Debit payment.
A standing order can be set up to run for a set period of time, or indefinitely. You can cancel it at any time by written request.
