Direct Debit Frequently Asked Questions

What is direct debit and how does it work in Australia?

Is direct debit secure for my customers?

How long does it take for direct debit funds to clear?

What happens if a payment fails?

What is direct debit and how does it work in Australia?

Direct debit is a secure payment method where your business automatically collects funds from a customer’s bank account on agreed dates. In Australia, payments are processed through the BECS network with the customer’s authorisation. It’s a “set and forget” way to manage one-off or recurring payments.

What's the difference between direct debit and a recurring credit card payments?

A recurring credit card payment relies on card details that can expire or be cancelled, leading to high failure rates. A true direct debit is an authority to draw from a bank account, which is far more stable and reliable for long-term payment schedules.

Is direct debit secure for my customers?

Absolutely. Direct debit in Australia uses the BECS system regulated by the Australian Payments Network. Customers are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee, and Ezidebit complies with strict privacy and banking standards. Our platform is Level 1 PCI DSS compliant, ensuring the highest level of security for your customer data.

How long does it take for direct debit funds to clear?

Due to the bank clearing process (BECS), direct debit payments from a bank account typically take 2-3 business days to clear. Funds are then settled to your account.

What happens if a payment fails?

Our system provides clear reporting on any failed payments. We also offer tools and strategies, including SMS reminders, to help reduce dishonours and manage the collection of overdue funds.

Is PayTo replacing direct debit?

PayTo is a new, modern alternative to direct debit that offers real-time payment validation. While it is the future of account-to-account payments in Australia, traditional direct debit remains a powerful and widely used solution.
