Making payments through Online Banking

Making payments through Online Banking

To make payments in Online Banking you will need to ensure the person you are sending the payment to is set up as a 'Payee' - How do I add a new payee using online banking(opens in a new window).

You need a card-reader to set up new payees in Online Banking - find out more through the payee guide above.

If you have our mobile banking app you can make one off payments to new payee totalling up to £250.00 per day without a card-reader - find out more on our mobile app page(opens in a new window) under 'Pay Someone New'

Remember - Only one payee can exist for each sort code & account number - for example, it is not possible to duplicate a payee with a different reference.
