Approve a payment through your online bank account

You can pay Class 1A National Insurance directly using your online or mobile bank account.

You’ll need to have your banking details ready before you start.

When you’re ready to pay, start your Class 1A National Insurance payment. Select ‘pay by bank account’. You’ll then be directed to sign in to your online or mobile banking account to approve a payment to ‘HMRC Shipley’.

You can select a date to pay, as long as it’s before your payment is due.

Check your account to make sure that the payment has gone out on the correct day. If the payment has not gone out as expected, speak to your bank.

The payment is usually instant but sometimes it takes up to 2 hours to show in your account.
