It's your choice every time whether you donate or not, so we don't provide the option to set up a regular standing order. Pennies is designed to sit alongside regular giving so if you have a favourite charity in mind, you can set up a standing order directly with them and just donate through Pennies whenever you have the option when shopping or eating out.
