Who you can pay

Depending on the type of account you have, you can make a one-off payment to:

• Your Named Account (also known as your Nominated Account). You can check your Named Account information in ‘My details’
• A company or person’s bank or building society account
• Another Coventry account.

You can’t make a payment to an overseas account from your Coventry account.

To make a payment

Before you make a payment, make sure you have enough money in your account at the time of payment. If a payment is future dated, you’ll need enough money in the account on the date the payment is due to leave.

To make a payment, choose the account you’d like to pay from and go to ‘Payments’. When you select ‘Make a payment’, you can choose to pay an existing payee or set up a new one.

Once you’ve set up a payee, their details will stay in your ‘Payees’ list so that you can easily make a payment to them again in the future.

Before you make the payment, we’ll need to confirm it’s you. 

You can check the details of all the payments you’ve set up in ‘Pending payments’ and amend them or cancel them if they haven’t yet left your account.

It’s important to remember that you can’t cancel or amend a payment on the day it’s due to leave your account.

• Payments to another Coventry account will arrive immediately.
  
  
• One-off payments to another bank or building society will leave your account the day after you set up the payment and should arrive in your payee’s account by the close of business that day – unless that date is a non-working day, in which case it will arrive on the next working day.
  
  
• The time it takes to arrive and clear in that account is subject to the usual processing times of the bank or building society receiving the payment.
  
  
• Future dated payments will leave your account and arrive in the payee’s account on the date you requested unless that date is a non-working day, in which case it will arrive on the next working day.

A payment reference tells the person or company receiving the payment what it’s for and who’s paying it. It helps to make sure your money goes to the right account.

If you’re paying a friend or individual you may not need a reference. If you’re paying a bill, your reference might be your customer number, for example, or your credit card number.

A pending payment is one that you’ve set up but hasn’t left your account yet. For example, it might be a regular payment that goes out every week or month, or you might set up a payment to leave your account on a future date.

You can make a payment and see all the payments you’ve set up in the ‘Payments’ section of each account. 

You can amend or cancel a pending payment in the ‘Pending payments’ section. You can’t amend or cancel a payment on the day it’s due to leave your account. 

We’ll need to confirm it’s you before you can make any changes.

A standing order is a set amount of money that you send regularly to another account. You set it up and manage it yourself.

A Direct Debit is a regular payment that’s requested and set up by the person or organisation you’re paying. The amount can vary from payment to payment, for example, if you’re paying your mobile phone bill each month. But you should always know how much will be taken because you’ll receive a bill, or be given notice that the amount is due to change.

You’re covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee if anything goes wrong.

Standing orders: 

You can see your standing orders – and the date they’re scheduled to leave your account – in the ‘Pending payments’ section of each account.

Direct Debits:

You can see your Direct Debits – and the date they were last paid – in the ‘Payees’ section of each account.
