1. Select standing order (default option). You can also switch to a sweep order.

2. Now it's time to fill out the order details.

 

  • Click the recipient field to pick or create a contact. As part of Verification of Payee, George checks with the recipient bank to see if IBAN and name match. 
  • Enter an amount.
  • (Optionally) add a text OR payment reference, as well as sender reference.

3. Pick a send date for the first transfer, as well as an interval - "Irregular" lets you choose specific months.

 

You have a few other (optional) options:

 

Execution preference: Tell George to process payments before or after a public holiday / weekend.

Execute until: Tell George when to stop making transfers.

4. Sign as usual. You can also save and create more standing orders. 

 

When you're ready to sign, you'll find them in your Signature Folder.
