How do I set up and manage SEPA direct debits?
Updated over 5 months ago

SEPA Direct Debits (SDD) streamline both recurring payments such as utility and phone bills, as well as one-time purchases. To set up a Direct Debit, simply complete the provided mandate or authorization form from the service provider, including your account's IBAN and signature. This grants the service provider permission to regularly debit funds from your account.

Kindly note that SDD deductions take place in the evening one business day before the scheduled execution date. This process ensures that we can promptly send the payment to the beneficiary as soon as possible on the execution date.

Please ensure that your account has enough balance prior to the execution date.
