How to pay if we provide your care

This page outlines the different ways you can pay for care that has been arranged by Solihull Council.

The invoice will show the:

  • details of the service you have received
  • date the invoice needs to be paid by 

Direct Debit

Direct Debit is the easiest and safest way to pay.

It is important that you enter your sundry income account number when you complete the Direct Debit mandate. This can be found in the top right-hand corner of your invoice. 

Your payment reference

If you don’t provide both numbers together when making a payment, there may be a delay in your money reaching our account.
