A standing order is a regular fixed payment from your bank account or current account to another bank account or current account. These fixed payments can be to friends, family, organisations or to other banking accounts that you may have. You can amend a standing order and cancel a standing order as and when you like using your Suits Me® online banking account and mobile banking app.
Read our standing orders information page to learn more about what a standing order is and the differences between a standing order and a direct debit.
