The New Way To Collect
South Africa is the only country in the world that has implemented the he Early Debit Order (EDO) collection system. The EDO system consists of both the AEDO and NAEDO payment streams and have been in existence since 2006 to ensure a fair playing field for all participants.
The AEDO system provides authentication through an electronic mandate using card and pin technology, making disputes virtually impossible.
The NAEDO system on the other hand uses paper based or voice recorded mandates to authorise debit order transactions.
Authenticated Collections (DebiCheck)
DebiCheck Collections will give consumers upfront knowledge about their debits through an electronic authentication process, ensuring that debits will be authorised legally and rule out any cash flow management strategies from abusive consumers.
