Payments on your e-banking
A payment can be initiated two ways;
- To pay to an existing payee, choose a payee from the list displayed. Please note: HMRC will always appear on this list where the account number, name and bank details cannot be amended.
- Secondly, new payees can be created by clicking on one of the three payment types and enter the payee details along with the other payment details.
- International payment – make a payment to someone outside the UK
- Domestic payment – make a payment to someone in the UK (includes Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Great Britain)
- Account transfer – make a cash transfer between your UBS accounts
- International payment – make a payment to someone outside the UK
For all payment types, there is an option to create a single payment (one-time payment) or standing order (to set up a payment with a repeated interval).


A payment entry screen will be displayed where all mandatory fields as indicated (*) will need to be completed.
