new bank card. do i need to change my direct debits?

[speedychrissie]

hey,

one of my bank cards is about to expire and my bank have sent me a new one.

do i need to change any direct debits which come out of this account to the new card number or is it ok as the direct debits are coming out of the account irrespective of what card number governs it?

sorry for what is really a bit of a numpty question, but it hasnt been explained to me and this is my first replacement card.

cheers
