Want to check who holds authority to sign and make enquiries on your account?

As businesses grow and diversify into new markets their personnel can often change. It is important to ensure that the signatories and the staff who can make enquiries on your account is kept up to date.

To ensure that we can continue to offer you exceptional customer service you can check, with us, who is currently mandated to operate your accounts and who can make enquiries on your accounts. You can also arrange to add new signatories or allow new staff to make enquiries on your account.

If you would like to check existing or add new authorities or even to delete authorities for personnel who have left your business please contact your branch or Account Manager.

If you would like to add new signatories or allow staff to make enquiries on your account you can find the appropriate forms in the 'Mandates' section of our website.

Introduction of Single European Payment Payments Area (SEPA) Direct Debit Service – Euro Currency Accounts only

On 19 June 2010 we are introducing a new service to our Euro Currency Accounts. The SEPA Direct Debit scheme will allow you to make payments from a Euro Currency Account by SEPA Direct Debit.

There are two SEPA Direct Debit schemes:

  • SEPA Core Direct Debit scheme – available to all personal and business customers;
  • SEPA Business to Business Direct Debit scheme – available to Corporate Opt-out customers only.

If you have a Euro Currency Account with us you should read about our SEPA Direct Debit.

IMPORTANT

To introduce this new service we have made some changes to the Special Terms and Conditions  for Currency Accounts. The changes will apply only to the new SEPA DD service which is available for Euro Currency Accounts. No other changes have been made to the terms and conditions.  It is important that you take time to read the revised terms and conditions. These are available below. These are the standard terms and conditions we will rely on from 19 June 2010.

If you want to obtain a paper copy of the revised terms and conditions then you should contact your branch and we will provide you with a paper copy, free of charge

How can I appeal a Business Lending Decision?

Monitoring & Appeals Process
As part of our commitment to the Better Business Finance initiative Northern Bank has introduced a new formal appeals process for declined finance credit applications. There will be occasions when we say no to a credit application and if you have been unsuccessful and feel there is additional information available that was not part of the initial application you can appeal the decision.

The decision will initially be reviewed by a senior manager who has not been part of the initial application and decision. These reviews will also be overviewed by an independent body who will ensure that the appeals process has been adhered to. There are cases when the appeal will not be considered.

Full details can be accessed through your relationship manager and at the Better Business Finance* website where you will also find lots of useful information and factsheets on not only the appeals process but many other areas of business finance support.
