Many organizations are not aware of the many benefits of utilising a debit order service to collect funds from their debtors, much less which debit order strategy is the best for their requirements.
Having dealt with many organizations payment collection strategies I'll try and explain why you should be using debit order as favored payment collection solution for your business along with which debit order strategy will be most suitable to your industry and kind of customer base.
Lets start with what a debit order is:
A debit order is an instruction that the banking account or bank card owner provides a company to recover cash straight from their bank account. The method by which an individual gives this instruction is actually by completing a written or verbal (usually telephonic) debit order mandate. Electronically signed mandates may become an alternative later on as PASA is examining their usage.
A debit order, as we talk about it in South Africa, can be referred to as a direct debit in many parts of the earth. For more resources on direct debits please see the relevant Wikipedia website page.
In South Africa you can get usually two types of debit order. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Early Debit Order (EDO) which might further be broken into Authenticated Early Debit Order (AEDO) plus Non-authenticated Early Debit Order (NAEDO).
EFT debit orders run after EDO debit orders when processed by way of the standard banking debit order runs. Both AEDO and NAEDO debit orders run in a randomised fashion prior to EFT debit orders and allow creditors the same chance to obtain money from their customers.
NAEDO debit orders were introduced in 2006 as a result of National Credit Act initiative and permit creditors to acquire as much as R5,000.00 in the most fair manner conceivable.
It is important to remember that typical EFT debit orders make provision for recovering anywhere up to R500,000.00 per debit instruction.
EFTs are generally more cost effective than AEDOs and NAEDOs but do not include the capability to monitor a customer account/credit card for up to 32 days. If funds would arrive in the account within the tracking interval, all these funds can be available for collection by way of the party starting the debit.
Some brief illustrations to clarify where EFT and NAEDO debit order collections would be used:
1. An investment enterprise planning to collect an additional payment from one of their investors would without a doubt use an EFT debit order as the possibilities of the investor having available funds for collection is quite high. The amount to get collected might also many times surpass the R5,000.00 NAEDO restriction and price associated with the collection might be a consideration.
2. Insurance agents acquiring a monthly premium from one of their clientele for funeral protection would be best off using a NAEDO debit order run. The odds of this client possessing money handy is quite small and monitoring will probably be helpful to track the consumers account for if cash do arrive (generally their monthly salary).
Any micro loan company would be better off making use of NAEDO as they handle clients who tend not to have cash accessible in their bank accounts primarily to the normal debit collection days. This is rather evident as these consumers could have a history of trying to get credit and would possibly have multiple debit orders to numerous collectors going off on the same day. It's because of this that the randomisation of NAEDO transactions can be an essential advantage of make certain each creditor has a similar likelihood of being paid off.
Conversely just about any service provider will likely opt for EFT as their favored debit order technique as they sustain some type of leveraging over their customer in the form of ending/suspending service as a way to acquire payment. Service providers also tend not to provide any credit conditions and repayment is carried out on a regular monthly basis.
I realize there are lots of situations and fringe cases that may guarantee a service provider or creditor deciding to employ either EFT or EDO debit orders but will explore these scenarios in depth within my subsequent article.
