How Do I Change a Payment Method on a Plan?

Additional Information

Before you start: This guide applies to active plans. You can either add a new payment method or select one you've already saved. Both options are covered below. Payble doesn't support editing an existing payment method. When your details change, such as a replacement card or new bank account details, a new payment method is created and assigned to your plan. The original stays stored against your profile unless you remove it. For more on how payment methods are stored, see Storing Payment Methods within Payble.

 

Switch the card or bank account your active plan pays from, so future instalments come out of the right place without interrupting your plan.

Phase 1 — Open Your Plan
Step 1: Sign in to your account

 

Sign in using the exact same method you used when you set up your plan: your mobile, or your email if your council supports it. If you sign in a different way, you won't be able to see your plan.

Step 2: Return to your Home page if needed

 

If your plans and payments don't appear straight away, click your council's logo at the top of the page or the Home button to return to your profile.
