  • information on the customers SA record (normally only for July transfer)

The lists are issued to DMB Banking on or before 10 January and 10 July.In January the bank is asked to transfer the full amount in each SSF account. The amount of the July transfer is determined by comparing the amount in the SSF account with the payments of account due by the customer.After the amounts to be transferred for each SSF have been decided, the bank list is prepared and despatched to Worthing Data Centre.
