Standing Order Question!

[iBlueBox]

I'm just wondering,

Say if you set up a standing order to pay rent, is it easy to change the amount you pay on a standing order? /can this be done online?

Depends on bank (tbf most mainstream ones shouldddd be similar), whether you have internet banking etc. Should be relatively easy.

Depends what bank you're with

Should be relatively easy if you use online banking, but of course depends what bank you're with.

I'm with TSB and I have a standing order which I'm easily able to change the date of!

Checked with Santander should be able to change it online, I only gave the form in the bank today so it might have not even set up yet so I'l wait to change it.


basically situation was that, for our house next year we were all going to pay the same price rent meaning 2 people with expensive rooms would pay the same amount as everyone else, it would of cost me only an extra 50p a week so I'm not that bothered but it meant that those with the cheaper rooms their rent would go up like £26 more a month

I basically set the standing order up as if we were paying individual prices but if we decided to pay equal rent (what were all currently debating(arguing) about) then I may need to change the amount and I didn't want it to be a big hassle to change

Online banking can setup, delete and change them instantly with Barclays for me, I'd assume all others were the same.

I have accounts with Co-Op, First Direct, Nationwide, Natwest and TSB and they can all be changed easily.

So I'd say the general consesus is yes.

If you set up the standing order online then 99% of the time it's easy to change.

Turns out I don't even need to change it now, but thanks for all the answers.

Just to add it is easy to change with lloyds as well as the site is basically the same as TSB for obvious reasons.

I forgot I have Halifax too actually :P.

I have so many because they all offer me different things;

Halifax gave me £100 for switching my current account and give me £5 a month for staying in credit.
TSB give 5% interest on balances up to £2,000.
Nationwide give interest on balances up to £2,500.
First Direct gave me £125 to switch (I opened a dummy account for this one)
Co-Op gave me £100 to switch (I opened a dummy account for this, also)
My Natwest current account doesn't offer me anything exclusively, but my cashback credit card is with Natwest, so I like to have a current account open with them just for ease of paying it back. Actually, the current account gives me 1% back on the cost of my petrol, so I use it to save some money for car expenditure (petrol/tax/insurance/repairs/mot) :P.
