It doesn't cost 50p to service a DD, plus charities get the tax back - so, a net influx of new funding is better than nothing..and anyway how much do you think should be a reasonable regular donation...£5-£10-£50-£100?

How much does it cost then?

I won't be engaging in a discussion on this thread about how much a regular donation to charity should be - - that is an entirely different subject.

I just object that people would bag a fiver at the expense of charities like Wateraid etc.

innovate, you're not being very charitable yourself in hoping others won't get their entitlement..

Perhaps do your homework before you accuse me about not being charitable, particularly in the context of DDs for the Halifax fivers.

£4 a month (x3) DD to new Tesco Savings account
£1 a month (x3) DD to Santander e-Savings 5

Payments to leave on 10th of month.

Job's a good 'un.

Given that you appear to have done zero research into my specific DD contribution to this thread, I choose to believe that you have done zero research into the cost of DDs, either.

I agree this is a moneysaving site but I'm sure most of you waste more then a fiver a week/month on chocolate or alcohol or sweets or fags etc then worries about a silly fiver.

Money spent on chocolate isn't a waste! Chocolate is a necessity. Remember there are two kinds of problems people face in life: those that are solved by going for a long run and those that are solved by eating chocolate. Many of us come to moneysavingexpert.com so that we can save money so that we can afford to keep ourselves in good quality chocolate.

What more research do I need to see?

A 50p DD to a charity allows it to receive at the very least 20p a month - that's is new money every single month that they wouldn't otherwise get..what's your problem with that?

We have a Reward bank account with Halifax and are unhappy about loosing the £5 per month if we do not set up 2 direct debits. We live in France and all our direct debits are in euros to French companies so we cannot set up any of those with Halifax. .....What a bunch of money grabbing bankers.:mad::mad:

yet in France you will struggle to find any current account which doesn't have a monthly fee!!! so you will still be doing OK if you lose the halifax fiver
