Direct Debit

Direct Debit is a convenient, automated method of paying your bills. BOC’s Direct Debit customers gain five extra days credit and avoid additional fees (non-Direct Debit fee is £3.00 per invoice).

You can set up or amend Direct Debit within ‘My Account Profile’ under the welcome message (screenshot below) or sign in here to get to Direct Debit tab straight away. If you are a new user, you will need to register first.

If a Direct Debit fails a charge of Ł25 may be applied to your account, we will request the funds from your bank again on the 13th of the following month. If the Direct Debit fails again, a further fee may be applied and we will cancel Direct Debit from your account. You should pay your invoice by another method as soon as you can to avoid any late payment charges.

Pay an invoice with a card

You can pay your invoice by debit or credit card using Quick Pay or sign in to your online account to view and pay your invoices or account balance.

Bank transfer

You can pay your BOC invoice by:

BACS, CHAPS, FPS or through online banking to BOC Ltd, Sort Code 40-02-50, Account Number 11407201

IBAN GB49MIDL 40025011407201

SWIFT/BIC MIDLGB22

Please allow 3 working days for a BACS payment. Please quote your BOC account number, and the invoice number you would like to pay. Please email all remittance advice to remit.advice@boc.com. If you are paying directly into a bank, please use a bank giro slip and ensure you quote your BOC account number and invoice number.

Payment terms

Normal terms of payment are by direct debit to be taken on the earliest banking day to the 25th day of the month following the month of the invoice date. In the case of methods of payment other than Direct Debit, full payment of invoices in cleared funds must be received by BOC by the 20th day of the month following the month of the invoice date.

Rental period options

BOC has a rental charge for all cylinders. Unless you otherwise request, all your cylinders will default to annual rental.

There are four rental period options:

Monthly - charged for the previous month. If you pay monthly rental charges and increase your holdings, you will be charged a full month rental for the extra cylinders at the end of the month in which you obtained them.

Quarterly - payable in advance

Annual - charged once a year in advance. If you pay annual rental, and increase your holdings, you will be charged for the new cylinders from the purchase date until the renewal date of the existing cylinder. For example, if your renewal date is 1st January, and you add an extra cylinder in the previous June, you will be charged 7 months rental on the additional cylinder. On 1st January you will be charged 12 months rental for all cylinders. If your holdings decrease, you will receive a credit note for the number of months left on your rental.

3 or 5 yearly - available for small cylinders only and suitable for customers with stable holdings - No pro-rata credit is available should the cylinders be returned before the renewal date.

The renewal date is always the first of the month in which you first obtained the cylinder.
