What is a Direct Debit Mandate?

A Direct Debit Mandate (or Direct Debit Instruction) acts as an authorisation for payments to be collected from a customer (Payer) in the future. They allow customers and Service Users to organise a specific schedule of payments, suited to the individual needs of the parties involved and are standardised into 3 categories; 

  • Future payments are authorised allowing Service Users to collect any amount at any time from customers. 
  • It is strictly required that customers are notified of each payment before it is collected. 
  • All payments are covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee which works to effectively protect all parties from payments made in error.
