Standing orderA regular payment for a fixed amount that you can ask us to make from your account to another specified account.Standing orderAn order by a customer to his/her banker to pay a specified amount usually on or around a particular day of the month regularly to another account. This could be typically to a person's building society for regular payment of mortgage interest or for premiums for life assurance. If the payee, for example, a building society, requires payments to be increased (or decreased) it must write to the customer requesting a change in the amount of the standing order. The customer then instructs his/her bank accordingly. The current trend for regular payments however seems to be towards direct debit where the customer agrees to the payee debiting (claiming funds from) his/her account.Similar MatchesOutstanding balanceOutstanding balanceThe amount to be repaid at any point in time.
