A standing order is an automated method of making regular payments that you set up.

You can instruct your bank to pay Mildmay UK a donation of a fixed amount of money at regular (fixed) intervals. Standing orders are created to cover a set period of time, for example, every month, and you can specify when you want your donation to be made, giving you full control over your finances.

A standing order is different to a Direct Debit payment.

A standing order is essentially an instruction from the payer to their bank, telling their bank to 'push' funds to another person or organisation. 

In contrast, when you set up a Direct Debit, the person or organisation receiving payment asks permission from the payer to 'pull' funds from their account on a recurring basis.

The first step in setting up a standing order is to contact your bank to request it.

You then complete a standing order form (paper or online) and give it to your bank. With most banks and building societies, standing orders can be set up online or over the phone.

What are the advantages of Standing Orders?

• They are usually free of charge for both payer and payee

• Easy and quick for the payer to set up
