By offering variable recurring payments, we’ve given our customers greater flexibility in managing their card repayments. This allows them to adjust their payments based on their changing financial situation, without the stress of fixed amounts or time delays. It’s been a win-win helping our customers manage their commitments more comfortably while also fostering trust and loyalty

2026 - The year of Bank on File

Until this year, Variable Recurring Payments (VRP’s) legislation has limited Bank on File to ‘me-to-me payments’, such as moving money from your current account to your savings account.

This year however, TrueLayer are now offering Bank on File far beyond these use cases, leveraging new legislation changes and product innovations. This means that whether you want to unlock fixed and variable recurring payments, or a one-click payment experience - TrueLayer’s Bank on File is here for you.
