Dummy Direct Debits
Dummy Direct Debits for bank switching

Set up a dummy Direct Debit in a minute.

Most bank switch bonuses require at least two active Direct Debits. If you don't want to move your real bills to a new account, this sets up a real, low-cost Direct Debit that meets the requirement — nothing more.

How it works

Three steps. No paperwork.

01

Sign up in under a minute

Enter your details and authorise your Direct Debit through your bank's own secure login — we never see or store your bank credentials.

02

Your mandate goes live

Your Direct Debit Instruction is created and registered — typically confirmed within a few working days, as required by the Bacs scheme rules that protect every Direct Debit in the UK.

03

Cancel whenever you're done

No contract, no minimum term. Cancel from your account in seconds, or directly with your bank at any time — that right is yours regardless of what we do.

Why it exists

Banks pay real cash to win your custom.

Most offers require you to move at least two Direct Debits before they'll pay out. If you don't want to move your actual bills to a new account you may barely use, a dummy Direct Debit gives you a real, low-cost Direct Debit that satisfies the requirement — properly, legally, and covered by the same guarantee as any other Direct Debit in the country.

£1 per month

No setup fee. No hidden charges. The full cost is shown before you authorise anything.

Real Bacs Direct Debit

Not a standing order, not a card payment — a genuine Direct Debit Instruction, which is what switch offers require.

Direct Debit Guarantee

Every payment is protected by the same guarantee that covers your mortgage or your gym membership.

Cancel anytime

Rolling monthly. No twelve-month tie-in, ever.

The Direct Debit Guarantee

This Guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits. If there is any change to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit, we will notify you in advance of your account being debited.

If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by us or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund from your bank or building society. You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time, by contacting your bank or building society. Written confirmation may be required.
