Turns out setting up the contribution within the Cobens website is the easy bit.

It took far longer to convince Lloyds Bank to release the initial £5k tranche from our bank account. Their starting point nowadays is 'It's a scam' and seemingly you have to convince them otherwise. Even though I've done it before.

Log into your account, select the account you want to add the contribution too,
scroll down to contributions and select add new contribution
Follow the process through
You can either select single d/d and we will collect the funds from your account or BACS
If you select BACS you will receive the account details and reference for you make an electronic contribution from your bank account
