Ways to pay your Business invoice

Direct Debit.

When you pay by Direct Debit, we automatically take the amount shown on the front of your invoice from your bank account each month. Payments are taken 30 days after your invoice date or shortly after.

Sole Traders can setup a Direct Debit over the phone unless your bank requires more than one signature to authorise transactions. If they do, you'll need a Direct Debit mandate.

Please get in touch to setup a Direct Debit. Or, you can download and print a Direct Debit mandate and send it to us at: Three Business Services, PO Box 333, Glasgow G2 9AG.

If you're not a Sole Trader, please choose from the options below:

• Private Limited company

  An Account Administrator can setup a Direct Debit over the phone unless your bank requires more than one signature to authorise transactions. If they do, you'll need a Direct Debit mandate

  The Direct Debit must be in the name of the business and signed by at least one Account Administrator.

• Local Authority

  An Account Administrator can setup a Direct Debit over the phone unless your bank requires more than one signature to authorise transactions. If they do, you'll need a Direct Debit mandate.

  The Direct Debit must be in the name of the registered organisation and signed by at least one Account Administrator.

  Schools and other services which have registered under their own name but invoices are paid through the parent local authority should provide evidence of the link before a Direct Debit can be setup.

• Partnership

  An Account Administrator can setup a Direct Debit over the phone unless your bank requires more than one signature to authorise transactions. If they do, you'll need a Direct Debit mandate.

  The Direct Debit must be in the business name or either business partner.

Cancelling your Direct Debit.

You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by calling us or by contacting your bank or building society.

If you cancel directly with us, but within 3 days of the due date, the balance due will still be taken. To avoid possible charges from your bank please contact them to discuss available options.

When a Direct Debit is cancelled, you'll need to pay your invoice in full. Your next invoice will include a Giro Slip if a new Direct Debit is not setup before your next invoice date.

Credit or debit card.

Get in touch if you'd like to pay with your Credit or Debit card.

Cheque or cash.

Cheque.

Please send us the Three Giro slip at the bottom of your invoice, along with your cheque, made payable to ‘Three'. Your account number needs to be written on the back. Or, you can just send us a cheque if you don't have a giro slip to use. Again, please make sure your account number is clearly written on the back of the cheque, otherwise we won't be able to match your payment to your account.

Our address is:

Three Payment Centre
PO Box 3
Camberley
GU15 3QS

Cheque payments will take 2 working days to clear once processed.

You can pay your invoice over the counter at any bank using the giro slip from an original invoice. Cheques must be made payable to ‘Three' and have your account number printed on the back. If it isn't printed, we won't be able to allocate the payment to your account.

Cash.

Banks can't process cash payments without an original giro slip - copy giro slips can't be read by the bank's optical readers.

Banks also reserve the right to charge a processing fee (approximately £5) if you're not one of their customers.

Cheque and cash payments over the counter will take up to 5 working days to show on your account.

Telephone or online banking.

You can pay your invoice through internet or telephone banking so you can transfer funds from your bank account into ours.

It's important that you include your account number, located at the top of your invoice, as a payment reference. If your account number isn't included, we won't be able to allocate your payment to your account. It takes up to 5 working days for the payment to show on your account.
