If you wish to make regular payments to the same beneficiary quoting different reference numbers, it is industry standard practice to create multiple beneficiaries, each quoting the required reference. Alternatively, if you wish to amend the reference on an existing beneficiary for future payments, you can do so using the beneficiaries menu. Please note, you must ensure you authorise these changes using the ‘Awaiting Authorisation’ screen before making any payments. Once a Beneficiary ‘template’ has been created it will not automatically update if you change a reference when processing an individual payment, but the money will reach the destination quoting the reference you enter.
You can easily add a beneficiary within the make a payment journey, when you click the recipient (‘To’) field – you will see a list of beneficiaries, if the one you want to make a payment to is not there, simply create a new one.
You can also add a beneficiary outside of the payment journey by simply clicking Beneficiaries on the left-hand navigation. You will then see a full list of all beneficiaries associated with your organisation listed in alphabetical order. To add a new beneficiary, click the green Add Beneficiary button in the top right-hand corner. This will open a new page where you can input the details of your new beneficiary – please make sure all the details are correct and from a trusted source before clicking Review Beneficiary Details. You will be shown a summary of the new beneficiary details, and once you are happy that these are correct, click Confirm New Beneficiary. If at any point you do not want to proceed, you can click the cancel button. If your organisation requires approval for new beneficiaries, please note that your new beneficiary may not show up in your list until it has been approved.

Your security and privacy are of utmost importance to us. We take many steps to protect your information ranging from only using secured networks designed to prevent unauthorised activity through to advanced use of encryption technology.
We use Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) to combat fraud and increase the security of online payments.
This additional authentication is provided through an automated telephone call. Users who are hearing impaired or have difficulty responding to this method can register for SMS authentication. Read our SCA FAQs here.

We recommend that you follow best practice whilst connecting to the Internet by using a firewall and ensuring that any software is kept up-to-date, particularly anti-virus software. For your own peace of mind, you can do a few things to protect your account – never write down or disclose your password to anyone, keep your devices safe and always log off when you have finished your transactions.
