What is a direct debit?

Also known as direct debit, a direct debit is a solution that allows you, as a company, to collect customer payments on your account when they fall due.

Direct debit is one of the best ways to manage recurring payments. It gives companies greater visibility over their payments, so they don't have to spend too much time on them. Direct debit is one of the solutions you should implement to manage your customers' subscriptions. The other solution would be direct debit by credit card, which Anytime also offers.

Companies are still resorting to highly manual procedures to collect money, which generates numerous payment delays and puts a strain on their cash flow. To avoid this, direct debit remains the best solution.

What types of direct debit does Anytime handle?

There are two types of SEPA direct debit:

• SEPA Core Direct Debit
• B2B SEPA direct debits between companies

SEPA Core Direct Debit is the most widely used direct debit. To set up this type of direct debit, your customers will need to provide you with the bank details of the account to be debited. We will debit your customer's account according to the agreed debit dates. SEPA inter-company direct debits (B2B) are used for payments between professionals or with the French administration (tax, URSAFF, etc.).

When to use this solution

If you collect money from your customers on a regular basis, whether for subscriptions or invoices (fixed or variable amounts), this direct debit method is for you.

• Keep up to date with collections: direct debit allows you to automatically collect amounts due on a specific due date.
• Save time: your invoices are automatically debited from your customers' accounts, and invoice status is updated in real time.
• Optimize your cash flow: you can control the timing of direct debits and anticipate cash inflows. This gives you greater visibility over your cash flow.
