You are being debited

All you need to know

A direct debit allows a company or organisation to take a one-off or recurring amount out of your payment account. You have to authorise this first by issuing a mandate.

Two ways to authorise a direct debit:

  1. Using a mandate form

    The company or organisation sends you a mandate form. You must complete and sign the form and return it to the company or organisation. If you are authorising a SEPA business-to-business direct debit, you must also register the details with us.

  2. Through an eMandate

    The company or organisation concerned can also ask you to issue an eMandate. This is a secure way of issuing a mandate online through Internet Banking. And if you authorise a SEPA business-to-business direct debit, the mandate is registered automatically.

Refunding, changing or revoking a direct debit

Having a direct debit refunded

If you don't agree with an amount that has been debited from your account, you have eight weeks to ask for it to be refunded. This only applies to SEPA core direct debits. In case of a SEPA business-to-business direct debit, you can only refuse it before or on the day that the amount goes out of your account.

Changing or revoking a direct debit

If you want to change or revoke a direct debit, please contact the company or organisation debiting funds from your account. Let them know that you want to change the direct debit mandate, because you want to have the amount debited from a different account, for example, or that you want to revoke the mandate altogether.

Issuing a mandate

Creditors may ask you to issue a printed mandate or an eMandate. If you authorise a SEPA business-to-business direct debit, you must also register the details of the mandate with us.
