Payments process
Date published: 1 January, 2015
Your payments will be paid in to your bank account. We can't send your payments to an account that doesn't belong to you.
You can help us to pay you on time by keeping your bank details up to date.
If you have not given us your bank details or you wish to change them, you can do this online by registering and logging in to Rural Payments and Services.
If you have any problems getting online, get in touch with your area office.
Payment Currency
From scheme years 2015 to 2019, a choice of currency between sterling and euros has been available to businesses for Direct Payments (Basic Payment Scheme and the sheep and beef support schemes). From scheme year 2020 onwards, payments will only be made in sterling.
