ACCELERATED MORTGAGE PAYMENTS

Ive been seeing quite a lot lately about accelerated mortgage payments - my understanding is basically paying your mortgage weekly rather than monthly can save you a ton of interest over the term.  Does anyone know if all banks allows this?  In particular the Clydesdale who i'm with.  Thanks

    Do you get paid weekly ?
    Can you afford to overpay  every week or month ?
    Have you got other debts

    I have other debts - my husband gets paid weekly i want wanting to overpay the mortgage just pay weekly as i read this will reduce the interest over the term as you are reducing the balance weekly rather than monthly?
