Let’s look into some of the benefits of using debit orders to collect funds:

Increase Cash Flow

When you control when your customer’s bank accounts are debited, you gain control over your cash flow. Why wait on your debtors to make payment when they feel like it? Get paid when payment is due and improve your cash flow, simpler, faster and more effectively.

With a debit order collection service in place for your business, you are certainly going to find that you have a better idea of how much money is collected from month to month. With this knowledge you can better plan future business expenses and projects.

More Convenient

When properly used, debit order collection services can be a more convenient way of receiving fees from your customers. Once your client has signed the debit order mandate, the customer doesn’t have to remember to make payments themselves anymore.

It happens automatically on the date selected by the customer which also assist the customer to better control their finances.

Receiving cash is risky. Moving cash around and handling cash is expensive. Debit orders are the safer option to go with, as all debit order processes take place electronically.
