Child Benefit
When and how it's paid

You can have the money paid weekly if you’re a single parent or getting certain other benefits, such as Universal Credit.
You can get the money paid into any account, apart from:
- a Post Office card account
- a Nationwide cashbuilder account (sort code 07 00 30) in someone else’s name
You can only get the money paid into one account.
