How to pay your rent

There are a number of quick and secure ways to pay your rent: online, by direct debit or by phone

Setting up a direct debit or paying online are the quickest ways to pay:

Other ways to pay your rent:

  • By phone – with debit card

    You can call our Customer Care Team and pay over the phone if you have a debit or credit card.

    Call us on 0300 1234 009.

  • By phone - with allpay

    You can pay over the phone with allpay, using your credit or debit card and quoting the reference numbers from your allpay swipe card.

    Call allpay on 0844 557 832.

  • Allpay payment card – in shops and post offices

    We issue all tenants with an allpay payment card. This can be used anywhere you see the Post Office, PayPoint or e-pay logos.

    You can pay with cash or debit and credit cards. Always remember to keep your receipt.


  • Paying by standing order

    A standing order is a regular, fixed payment from your bank account.

    You'll need to arrange this with your bank. If you have online banking or a banking app you may be able to set it up through that. 

    You can decide the date and how often you want to pay by using the following bank details:

    Bank: Barclays Bank, Sir Frank Whittle Road, Derby, DE1 9NT.
    Sort Code: 20-25-93
    Account Number: 50689459

    You must quote your tenancy number.

    You can find this on your MyHomeOnline account:

    Click on the 'View Account/Make Payment' button:

    You will see your tenancy number at the bottom of the screen:
