The Direct Debit advantage

More and more businesses are recognising the very tangible business benefits of customers paying by Direct Debit. Here are a few reminders of the key reasons why your business might benefit from customers switching to Direct Debit or from changing the way your Direct Debits are set up and collected. You might find these useful if you need to present a business case to support a Direct Debit marketing campaign.

Switching customers to Direct Debit means you can guarantee the timing of incoming payments, ensuring a consistent and predictable cash flow.

Reduced administration time and cost

Payments can be difficult to track, can easily go astray or be delayed. With Direct Debit you receive the payment on time, every time.
