Debit Order Authorisation

DEBIT ORDER AUTHORISATION

Summary In order to collect money owed directly from your customer’s or debtor’s bank account, you first need to get your customer’s written consent. A Debit Order Authorisation may be used if you need to collect funds from your customers by debit order.

What type of business should use a Debit Order Authorisation? If you need to collect money from people on an ad hoc or a regular basis, then you may consider using a Debit Order Authorisation to get their permission to withdraw the money owed directly from their bank account. This can minimise your risks of defaulting payers, and also make it easier on the debtors, who do not have to worry about making the payment themselves.
