Payments

Your payment date is when we take the money from your bank account.

When you took out your contract, you selected a payment date from the 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd of the month.  

Payment will be taken on your chosen date, as long as it falls on a weekday. If your normal payment date falls on the weekend or a bank holiday, we’ll take payment on the next working day.

To change your payment and bill date call Customer Care on 4455 from your Tesco Mobile phone. If you’re a business customer, please call us on 0345 601 2448.

If you’re taking out a Direct Debit with us for the first time, you’ll be covered by the Direct Debit guarantee

This guarantee is offered by all Banks and Building Societies that take part in the Direct Debit Scheme. The efficiency and security of the Scheme is monitored and protected by your own Bank or Building Society.

If the amounts to be paid or the payment dates change Tesco Mobile will notify you five working days of your account being debited as otherwise agreed.

If an error is made by Tesco Mobile or your Bank or Building Society, you are guaranteed a full and immediate refund from your branch of the amount paid.

You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by writing to your Bank or Building Society. Please send a copy of this letter to us.
