### Change Payment Method

Students may need or want to change the method of payment they use to pay their accommodation fees:

- The card you have registered with us to make payments has expired
- You wish to use a different card
- You have opened a UK bank account and wish to use it to pay your accommodation fees

We recommend that any changes made to your method of payment are done at least 10 calendar days before your next payment is due, especially if you are looking to switch the way you pay us to Direct Debit, as this process can take longer to be validated.
