Switch Guarantee - Direct Debits

I will be moving my business's current account over to a new provider next week

The switch guarantee states it will take care of everything

Regarding Direct Debits to HMRC - for VAT - PAYE - Royal Mail ect

Are these automatically updated - meaning I WON'T have to change them with those companies - their records will be updated with my new account details, and they will just collect the money from my new account
or will I still have to give them my new bank details

  • Existing DDs, no matter who they are to, will be moved over automatically. Obviously any new DDs you setup you will need to setup with the new account details.
