standing order
In a financial context, this term refers to an automated payment system. It is distinct from a direct debit because the customer controls the amount and the timing, whereas a direct debit allows the receiving party to vary the amount. It is most commonly used for fixed costs like rent or insurance premiums.
In a parliamentary or legal context, the term describes the established rules of procedure. These are not temporary motions but permanent guidelines that ensure order and consistency during formal debates or legislative sessions.
