Best Answer

It usually means that an adult has opened an account for a child and has the ability to add/subtract or "control" the account for the child. Can also be for adults; ex-when a large amount of money is involved and custodian wants to limit beneficiary's access. Basically, someone besides the account holder who has access to and can change said account.

How the direct debit payment system works?

A direct debit payment solution is simply a financial transaction in which one person withdraws funds from another person's bank account. Formally, the person who directly draws the funds instructs the bank to collect (i.e. debit) an amount directly from another's bank account - and then pay those funds into a bank account designated by the payee. Direct Debit is an agreement between yourself and your bank, which authorizes the bank to allow an organization to collect a regular or irregular payment from your account. It is actually managing your funds better!

A bank account can be closed only by the individual who holds the account. He/she needs to visit the bank and sign the account closure form in order to close their bank account.
