Standing Orders and Direct Debits to be paid out of your account
CAF Bank isn't part of the Current Account Switch Service, but we have a simple process to make sure your payments are transferred effectively and quickly.
You'll need to complete the 'Standing order and Direct Debit transfer to CAF Bank' form which is found in the new account application pack. We'll request details of Standing Orders and Direct Debits paid from your existing bank account and contact you, once we've had a response to confirm the payments you'd like transferred.
At this point, we'll aim to put everything in place for you within 12 working days.
We recommend that you maintain enough funds in your existing account until you're sure that the transfer has been successful.
Standing Orders and Direct Debits paid into your account
You'll need to contact the organisations or donors of any Standing Orders paid to your existing account to advise them that your bank account details have changed.
If you have more than 250 Standing Orders paid into your existing current account, please let us know, as we may be able to arrange for them to be transferred to your new account electronically.
We recommend that you speak to your Bacs Bureau if you have Direct Debits paid into your account.
Visit our Bacs Bureau Service page for details of a secure, efficient way to collect Direct Debits and send Bulk Payments within the UK.
