FIT Payments via Direct Debit/Bank Transfer?

Similarly, can you bank cheques from home using your banks phone app?  Barclays has offered that for a while and it is easy to use.
By the way, my FiT is with EOn and never had a problem.  Usuall have the money within a few working days of submitting the reading online.

Have you asked if BG will pay direct?  I used to get a cheque from SSE but recently changed it to direct payments into the bank. Simples. 

Phoned them yesterday to ask if this was a possibility. They said they are in thr process of switching the system over to direct payments and expect it to be in place within a few months...

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait till the summer, if it's still cheques by then I will be leaving!

Sounds sensible, especially as the amounts you get is identical irrespective of who is paying you

Yes I can bank cheques via my banking app which is a big convenience over having to travel to the bank, however, it's not nearly as convenient as automatic payments which other companies provide 😊
