UK Direct Debit

UK Direct Debit allows bank account holders to authorise a third party, usually a merchant or biller, to collect money from their account. These payments can be one-off but usually they are recurring. The biller must give advance notice of collection dates and amounts.

We currently don’t offer this payment method. Get in touch to see what other options we have.
