Immediate Access to your Pay
By being paid by Direct Credit you can access funds immediately from your account unlike a cheque which has to go through the clearing system which can take several days. There is also no risk of the credit being delayed or lost in the post which can happen with a cheque.

Greater Security
As your pay is electronically transferred to your bank or building society account there is no risk of your wage packet being lost or indeed stolen.

Greater Reliability
Whether you are off on holiday, off due to illness, or maybe working outside normal hours your money is still automatically credited to your account on known dates. You will still receive your payslip, so you will know exactly how much you have been paid.

Easier to Budget
Once your pay is credited to your account you may choose to set up Direct Debits to automatically pay essential bills or set up a standing order to automatically transfer money to a savings account.

What to do now?
Providing your employer has the necessary software, all you need to do is supply your employer with your bank or building society sort code and your personal account number.

If you currently hold an account these numbers can be found on your cheques, cash card, statements or in your passbook. It is usually wise to confirm these numbers with your branch.
