Payment on Account

There is a facility to make a payment to be placed as unallocated funds on your account. This can help to quickly increase and prevent you going over your credit limit or be used to top up unallocated funds on your account.

Auto Allocation

If you have unallocated funds on your account and would like to use this to pay for invoices, you can turn on auto allocation in the credit account section of the online service. If there are enough unallocated funds available this will be used to automatically pay the invoices as they are issued.
