Q: Set up direct debit payments

You can set up a direct debit to pay for your investments. Click on Set up Direct Debit on the free regular investing page. Payments will be requested from your bank account on the 12th of each month. We will carry out new investment instructions on the first Wednesday of each month. Any existing regular investments, which were set up before 5 May 2021, will be carried out on the third Wednesday of each month.

Regular investing is free with your account. It allows you to top up your investments monthly, rather than buying with lump sums.

You can invest as little as £25 per month per investment, and there are no trading costs to pay.
