Never miss a bill again

Bills Manager keeps money for bills separate from your everyday spending, so you always know you're covered.

What is Bills Manager?

Bills Manager is a special kind of Space dedicated to paying your direct debits, standing orders and subscriptions. Move money into the Bills Space, and your bills come out of there — not your main balance.

It means your everyday spending stays separate from your fixed costs. You can see at a glance that rent, utilities and subscriptions are covered for the month, and spend the rest of your balance worry-free.

If your Bills Space ever runs low, we'll warn you in advance — so you have time to top it up before any payment bounces.

Bills Manager FAQs

Is Bills Manager free?
Yes. Bills Manager is completely free for all Personal and Joint Account holders.
What if my Bills Space runs out of money?
We'll warn you in advance if your Bills Space doesn't have enough for upcoming payments. If it's still short when a payment is due, we'll try to take it from your main balance. If that's also empty, the payment may fail.
Can I use Bills Manager on a joint account?
Yes. Both joint account holders can see and manage the Bills Space together.
