PCSE only accepts the new bank mandate form from 1 August

Changes to practice bank details now need PCSE's standard form, signed by every active partner and sent by an approved PCSE Online role.

01 / What's changed

Since 1 August 2026, PCSE only accepts requests to change practice bank details on its new standard bank mandate form. Emails, letters on headed paper and older forms are refused.
Only the GP Principal, non-GP Partner, Statements and Practice User Management roles in PCSE Online can submit a request.
Every active GP partner must sign the declaration. For APMS and other non-partnership models, the ICB validates the request first. PCN bank mandates also move to a standard format.

GP practices and PCNs in England paid through PCSE, particularly any changing bank, merging or changing partners.

Download the current form from the PCSE website and delete any older copies saved locally.
Check who in your practice holds one of the approved PCSE Online roles.
Collect signatures from all active partners before you submit, as incomplete forms are returned.
If your contractual statement does not match your bank statement, check the ICB and NHS England elements first, then contact your ICB or regional team.
