District and Business Apps

If you have questions about using District or our Mobile and Tablet Apps, please contact us.

We can help you with:

• making payments;
• installation, logging on and communication set-up;
• integration Services, File Transfers and File formats.

Please remember to state:

• your User ID;
• the payment reference number;
• the transfer number of the transferred payment folders or the file reference.

We may record or monitor calls to confirm details of our conversations, and for training and quality purposes. Lines are open at the times shown above, except for bank holidays or other holidays in Northern Ireland when the bank is not open for business.

Follow the instructions below or get in touch with our dedicated District Customer Support team.

1. Once you have logged on to District, click on the blue ‘Create’ button at the top right of the screen and select ‘Create payment’.
2. Enter the details of the payment you wish to make, choosing the correct payment type. You can save these payment details along with other payments you have set up by ticking the box. If you leave the box unticked, the payment will be saved and can be authorised individually
3. If you have sufficient access, you’ll be able to save the payment as a creditor. You can then use the Creditor ID (short name or reference) for future payments.
4. You’ll also have the option of creating further payments or you can progress with authorising the current payment.
5. If you can authorise payments alone you can do this straight away. If you operate two jointly, the person providing the second authorisation can access the ‘List of outgoing payments’ and choose to authorise the payment.
6. You can authorise payments with your password, which counts as your digital signature.

For Faster Payments, the payment limit is the sterling equivalent of €60,000 per transaction.

The currency conversion tool shows exchange rates for more than 25 currencies and can convert prices instantly.
This exchange rate tool always uses the Danske Bank Exchange Rate (UK), applying the 'sell' rate for foreign cash. Where the conversion is between two non-sterling currencies then the rate used will be a 'mid-market' rate. The Danske Bank Exchange Rate (UK) is subject to change, and the currency converter is for indicative, information purposes only.

You can also phone us to talk through your business currency needs as an alternative option.
