The quickest, easiest and safest way to pay your rent online is by using My whg, our online service.

Direct Debit is an easy and convenient way to pay. Payments can be made weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or on a calendar month basis, on a day of your choice.

If you pay by Direct Debit you know that your rent is always paid on time and that any changes are managed for you without the hassle of going to the bank. The Direct Debit Guarantee means your payments are secure and protects you in the rare event that there is an error.

• To set up a direct debit, you will need a bank, building society or credit union account and if you don’t already have one, our Money Advisors can help you to set one up.
• Simply complete a Direct Debit Form and return it to us. Once returned, it will take up to ten working days for us to take a payment. We can also set up a Direct Debit over the phone between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Call us on 0300 555 6666.
