We have two Price Plans to choose from, designed for the way your business makes and receives payments.
Mixed Payments Plan – for businesses that use cash, cheques or a range of ways to make and receive payments.
e-Payments Plan – for businesses that receive electronic payments and make payments mainly through Online Banking and debit cards.
See how much you could pay with each plan. Enter the details of payments into and out of you account for an average month (leaving any you don't use blank). We'll then calculate your potential fees.

Price Plan Guarantee
The way your business makes and receives payments can change over time. To make sure you’re always on the plan that offers the best deal, we’ll carry out a review each year. We’ll contact you if we think a different plan could save you money and move you on to it, unless you advise us otherwise. However, if you think another plan would suit your needs better, you can move whenever you like – just let us know.
We pay you back a proportion of the charges we apply to your current account on a monthly basis. It’s our way of rewarding you for being our customer.
