Direct debit Guarantee
If any money is wrongly taken from your account under a direct debit then, as soon as we are told about it, we will refund your account. This protects you if a direct debit, which has not been authorised, is taken from your account. Similarly, where too much is taken, it is taken too early or it is taken after you have cancelled the direct debit, you will be protected. Cancellation of a direct debit should be made in writing simultaneously to the originator and to your Bank, giving seven days notice.
International payments
Make payments from your own accounts in all major currencies to most destinations worldwide.
