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.
