How Direct Debits Work
A Direct Debit is an instruction from a consumer or business (payer) to their bank, authorising an organisation (payee) to regularly collect money directly from the payer’s account at intervals within a specified timescale.
Direct Debits (DDs) are typically adopted by companies in the B2C market needing to collect payments from their customers, but they are equally relevant in the B2B space.
By setting up a DD, both the payer and the payee are able to automate that payment/collection cycle, saving considerable time and money on both sides.
Direct Debit is one of the safest and most common ways for consumers to pay bills. Organisations wishing to use the Direct Debit Scheme must go through a careful vetting process before they're authorised. Full audits and investigations surrounding the company’s turnover, length of time in business and quality of processes are investigated prior to it being accepted onto the system.
From a consumer point of view, DDs ensure the money leaves your account and credits the recipient account in a timely fashion.
From a business point of view, cash flow visibility is improved and the pain of collecting monies is removed totally – the funds simply arrive in your account on time.
