How to pay your card:

A monthly statement is issued to each card user and the business representative. There are a few options to pay:

  1. If a Direct Debit is set up then funds will be taken from your Business Current account no earlier than 25 days after the date on the statement
  2. You can pay online. Log onto your Bank of Scotland Internet Banking account, select ‘Transfers and Payments’ and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Send a cheque or pay in branch

You might be charged a fee if there aren’t enough funds in your account to cover the Direct Debit payment for the full balance of your cards. If there are any errors or transaction disputes, contact Business Card Services immediately.

Cancelling your card

If you need to cancel your card account:

  1. Let your relationship team know.
  2. Make no further purchases. Please destroy the card securely by cutting through the smartcard chip and throwing away the pieces. We may ask you to let us know you’ve destroyed the card.
  3. Pay all outstanding balances as normal by Direct Debit at the next statement date.

We’ll let you know when we’ve closed your Business Credit Card account and we’ll arrange for any full or part annual card fee refund if you have paid one.
