Welcome to the list of savings and investment accounts that allow deposits to be made by Direct Debit and/or debit card.

If there is an account listed that has incorrect information, or needs updating, or removing please leave a comment.

If there is an account you think should be added please leave a comment so that it can be added to the list and others can benefit from it too.

I have added a new section for charity lotteries that accept payments by Direct Debit and/or debit card. Some also accept payment by cheque (post) or cash (in shops). If there's a charity lottery you would like added to the list please leave a comment.
