Savings accounts deposits by Direct Debit? UPDATED

camaj

Thanks Waqasahmed for doing this update, took me a while to find although there doesn't seem to be much difference from the original. May I suggest you update the charities listed in the charity section? Firstly I would remove the link to christian.org who seem to exist to fund their own political agenda of demonising the LBGT community and drugs, even if you agree with those positions there's little objective good being done, at best they should be listed under politics. Secondly PayaQuid is no longer operating so I'd delete that too.

I'd like to suggest two additional charities, SCI and Give Directly. These are the only two charities on the current list of Givewell's top charities who accept donations via DD. SCI requires to you print off the form and post it back to them but they allow you to donate annually and Givewell believe they will use the money more effectively. For switching purposes most banks define that as a DD that's been active in the last 13 months, so you could cancel post switch, although it might be worth hanging on to if you plan on switching again

As this is a MSE forum I think any charity which accept £1 or less (say) donation by DD should be listed here irrespective of their political orientation.

Let people who wanted to create DDs (or probably donate ?) make their own judgement.

I know this thread isn't really about charities but the list here is pretty useful and I've also found Alzheimers Research also accept £1 DDs.

What you fail to mention is that they only arrange DDs for the 1st or the 16th, so far too late for this month. Does anyone know of another one who'll collect this month (apart from one I've been asked not to mention; please PM me or olbas_oil before publicly giving it out, unless it's a charity or Tesco).

PayPal might be handy for an emergency DD if you have an account

All the DD mandates I've used come with the guarantee that for any changes they will notify you 10 working days in advance of your account being debited. Consequently I've never been able to set any such DDs up for a first payment within the initial 2 weeks.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Looks like Paypal are stopping/have stopped already the facility to manually move money by DD.
When selecting add funds on a Paypal it used to give the option of either via FP or via DD. The DD option has now been removed.
Obviously this won't affect DD's that are set up in Bank accounts to pull to Paypal,

What exactly have you done to create DDs on your Tesco current accounts?

Would a paper mandate form do the business ?

Just a thought.

I've just setup a post office internet saver to fulfill a few DDs and I'm trying to add a second nominated account to generate a secondary DD - anyone know if this is possible or is it just 1x DD per post office internet saver? Thanks in advance.

How does that help? A DD needs to be pulled by an institution of some sort - and they will have online forms of their own. A form by itself does nothing unless there is a mechanism to pull the DD..

I doubt it. I think the PO, like the vast majority of savings acounts that allow pay-ins by DDs (and those are diminishing rapidly) only allow 1 DD per account.

You could, of course, just set up another PO internet saver, if they will let you do that.
