Andrew (C), we know Direct Debits are what we ultimately want, but whatever bank we were with we would still not be able to use them for at least a year, and not able to afford to use them for longer probably.
In the meantime, I would expect a reasonable proportion of our users to have internet banking (since they're tech savvy etc.), and for those that don't there are other options. Paypal has (if I remember right) a regular payment option. Tom On 06/01/2009, Andrew Cates <and...@soschildren.org> wrote: > > You can't create a standing order online?
