How do I create a standing order on AMS?
Find out how to schedule a one-off or recurring payment from your Upgraded Business Account
You can use a standing order to make one payment or to schedule payments daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. You can choose a fixed number of payments, an end date, or allow the standing order to continue until you cancel it.
Security note: Never share your AMS login password or payment password with anyone.
Note: If you change your bank account details, your account will automatically be placed on hold for security reasons. Our Risk team will review the bank details within one working day and restore the account.
