From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A standing order (or a standing instruction) is an instruction a bank account holder (the payer) gives to his or her bank to pay a set amount at regular intervals to another's (the payee's) account. The instruction is sometimes known as a banker's order. A standing order can only be set up and modified by the payer, and is for amounts specified by the payer to be paid at specified times (usually a fixed amount at a specified interval examples).
