Manually paying off CC instead of DD -Will it still improve my credit score?

Hi all, just a quick question.

I have a Lloyds Avios Duo CC that I've got simply to build a credit rating. I have opted to pay the full amount off via DD each month, but I still prefer to pay it off during the month. Will it still improve my credit score? I'm not sure how they'll technically class it as being paid on time or if it will instead just be as if I never had the DD.

Thanks!
