Direct debit is a convenient way to make recurring payments, such as utility bills or loan installments, by allowing authorized parties to withdraw funds directly from your bank account on specified dates.

How much cost would you incur if you choose direct debit UK payment system?

It depends on the direct debit provider whether the setup will be free or they would ask for charges. Some providers setup the direct debit software absolutely free with zero monthly charges too. I am not aware of other providers but my Gym centre uses Accesspay as a direct debit provider. Their direct debit software also offers you a reporting and dashboarding feature that will immediately alert you of any problems in collections.


If i provide details of bank account but don't have a debit card for that account can the company take any money from that account without setting up a direct debit?

Yes. A debit card is not related to a direct debit. A direct debit is your authorisation to your bank to pay whatever amount is requested by whomever the direct debit is in favour of.... a utility company, a service provider or other business.... on a regular basis, usually monthly or yearly. A debit card is a way of paying for individual transactions, on the spot, without using cash. The total can be deducted from your account when the card is processed by the trader.

Is direct debit a good payment system?

Generally, for regular payments, direct debit is a good payment system as it means that there is no need to worry about paying a bill as it is automatically taken out of your bank account. However, if your bank balance is uncertain, direct debit is perhaps not the best payment system.


Can anyone help us with a training session on direct debit payment system?

Hi! You can start off the training with some basic points like what is Direct Debit, how to set up a Direct Debit, how to cancel a Direct Debit etc… you can easily surf the net and prepare a brief on the said topics.Personally I haven't heard of a professional direct debit trainer available in the market.It seems like learning through trial and experience is your best option.I work in an environment agency and our boss too wanted us to upgrade on the direct debit payment systems. We contacted Accesspay after reviewing them over the net. Their sales team was extremely co-operative and helpful through the entire discussion. We were so convinced we are currently using Accesspay direct debit software.
