How do Debit Orders work?

Debit Order Setup

The account holder authorises the service provider in writing or electronically to deduct agreed payments from their bank account.

Payment Processing

The service provider uses a bank or third-party processor like Netcash to deduct the agreed amount of money from the account holder's bank account.

Cancellation Rights

Either party has the right to cancel the debit order, but this does not cancel the terms of the sale or service provided.

The funds are debited and available on the requested action date. A Same-day debit order is a premium service processed Monday to Saturday, with an authorisation cut-off time on the action date.
