How can I make a payment to my mortgage account?

There are two simple and easy ways to pay your monthly mortgage electronically, either via bank transfer or direct debit. You can also pay over the counter at a branch if required.

Direct debit:

The easiest way to pay your mortgage monthly is by setting up a direct debit so that we can automatically collect the correct payment from your bank account each month. To set this up, simply complete the direct debit mandate and return this via post to the following address:
