Ways to pay your mortgage

Direct Debit

Payment dates

Payment dates available are the 1st, 10th, 12th, 15th, 20th and the last working day of the month. All payments set up for the 1st of the month will be collected on the third working day. Customers with a payment date after the 1st of the month may incur additional daily interest.

Electronic Payments

Payments can also be made using internet banking or by requesting your bank to make the payment. For electronic payments please use our bank details below:

  • Account holder name: Your full name
  • Sort code: 20-78-91
  • Account number: 70798924
  • Reference number: Your 9-digit mortgage account number

Please be aware that payments can take up to two business days to show on your mortgage account, after we have received them. Faster payments will normally be received by us no later than the next working day. For example, a payment initiated on a Monday will normally be received by us no later than close of business on the Tuesday. A payment initiated after the cut-off point on a Friday will normally be received on the following Monday.

You should check with your provider what their cut-off time is for sending electronic payments.

Part and Part

  • This is a combination of both repayment and Interest Only mortgage.

  • Restricted to applications where the loan amount is 80% of the property value or less.

  • The maximum term for Part and Part is 25 years.

  • It's your responsibility to ensure all of the mortgage is repaid by the end of the term. You will need to have a repayment strategy in place to enable you to pay off the part of the loan on Interest Only.


For example, a loan of £50,000 could be made up of £30,000 repayment and £20,000 Interest Only, so there would be a remaining capital balance of £20,000 to repay at the end of your mortgage term.

Internal Transfer

An Internal Transfer enables you to pay your monthly mortgage payment from your Skipton savings account. A transfer is made automatically from the savings account and is set up following a request from you. Internal Transfers can be set up to collect on any day in the month up to the 26th of the month.

Call us

You can set up an Internal Transfer over the phone by calling us on 0345 850 1766.
