There are lots of ways to pay your rent:
Most customers pay rent by Direct Debit because it’s straightforward, secure and means you never fall behind in your payments.
A Direct Debit is a payment that can be arranged weekly, fortnightly or by calendar month on any date and is taken automatically from your bank account.
Never miss a payment, set up a Direct Debit now.
If you need help, we can help you set up your Direct Debit over the phone, call Torus Customer Hub on 0800 678 1894.
PLEASE NOTE: If you pay by Direct Debit and your payment is due to be taken on a day that falls on a Bank Holiday, please be aware the payment will not be collected from your bank account and paid to Torus until the next working day. Please ensure you leave the money in your bank account to cover the Direct Debit rent payment.
Pay quickly, conveniently and securely on our website without logging into your tenant account, through our SECURE PAYMENT SITE and follow the instructions.

Torus is offering you an additional way to make a rent / arrears payment from a debit card.
A recurring card payment can be set up, with your permission, to take an agreed regular payment from your debit card. It is not the same as a standing order or Direct Debit, which use your current account details, not your card information.
It is a flexible way to make a payment. The payment will only be taken from the debit card if the money is in the account to cover the payment.
The payment is taken automatically which will ensure that providing the money is in your account you will not fall behind with your rent payments.
To find out more contact the Income Team or speak to your Income Officer, please call 0800 678 1894 or email info@torus.co.uk.
If you receive full or part payment of your rent from Housing Benefit, you can ask for this to be paid directly to us.
If there’s a shortfall, you must make arrangements to pay the remainder to us yourself using any of the other ways to pay on this page.
Universal Credit
If you get Universal Credit, any money you receive towards your rent will be paid directly to you, so you’ll be responsible for paying us.
Many Universal Credit customers set up a Direct Debit payment for the day they receive their Universal Credit payment.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
