Payments
General
8.1 Your Account Terms explain how payments into and out of your account work. The section below contains information on Pay Your Contacts, which is a payment service that is specific to Mobile banking and therefore isn't included in your Account Terms.
8.2 When you make a payment through Mobile banking we'll make the payment using the Faster Payments Service if possible. If we can't use the Faster Payments Service we'll advise you of alternative ways to make the payment.
Pay Your Contacts
8.3 Pay Your Contacts allows you to send money to a third party from your personal account by using the payee’s mobile phone number rather than their account number and sort code.
8.4 You can use this service to make payments to anyone who has registered to use Pay Your Contacts in the app.
8.5 To make a payment in this way, you need to give us:
- the mobile phone number of the payee (This is the information that we use to identify the payee); and
- the amount of the payment in pounds sterling.
You're responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.
8.6 When you confirm the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment, this will be your payment instruction to us and the payment will be processed immediately.
8.7 We’ll send the payment to the account that the payee has registered to accept Pay Your Contacts payments.
8.8 Once you've asked us to make a payment you won't be able to cancel it. If you realise you've given us an incorrect mobile phone number or payment amount, you must inform us as soon as possible by contacting us on 0345 366 7003 or +44 2381 244181 from outside the UK. Where possible we'll try to recover the payment, but might not be able to do so. We'll not be liable to you if we're unable to stop a payment in these circumstances.
8.9 We'll notify you within the App if we're unable to make a payment.
8.10 There's a daily limit and an individual transaction limit on payments sent using Pay Your Contacts. Details of these limits are available in our frequently asked questions.
8.11 You can register to receive Pay Your Contacts payments in the App. You'll need to confirm your mobile number and select an eligible account to link to your mobile number.

If we make any other change to the Terms, we’ll give you at least 60 days’ notice before it takes effect. We’ll tell you about any changes by:
- notifying you within the App;
- sending a text message (to the mobile phone number you gave us);
- sending an email (to the email address you gave us);
- delivering a secure message to online banking; or
