Selecting the best debit order solution for your enterprise

by Debby Ordner

Many organisations don't know the key benefits of using a debit order service to obtain funds from their debtors, much less which debit order strategy is the best for their needs.

Having dealt with many businesses payment collection methods I'll make an effort to clarify why you should use debit order as preferred payment collection solution for your enterprise together with which debit order method is most suitable for your industry and type of clientele.

We begin with what a debit order is:

A debit order is an instruction that the bank account or credit card owner provides a business to collect cash straight from their bank-account. The procedure by which an individual provides this instruction is simply by filling out a written or spoken (commonly telephonic) debit order mandate. Digitally signed mandates can become a possibility later on as PASA is looking at their usage.

A debit order, as we relate to it in South Africa, can be known as direct debit in several parts of the globe. For additional info on direct debits please see the appropriate Wikipedia website.

In South Africa there are actually commonly two types of debit order. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Early Debit Order (EDO) that can additionally be broken into Authenticated Early Debit Order (AEDO) as well as Non-authenticated Early Debit Order (NAEDO).

EFT debit orders follow EDO debit orders if processed via the normal banking debit order batches. Both AEDO and NAEDO debit orders run in a randomised fashion prior to EFT debit orders and permit creditors the same chance to acquire cash from their customers.

NAEDO debit orders were introduced in 2006 due to a National Credit Act initiative and allow creditors to recover up to R5,000.00 through the most fair approach achievable.

It is very important to note that normal EFT debit orders allow for collecting as much as R500,000.00 per debit instruction.

EFTs are generally more cost effective than AEDOs and NAEDOs but do not include the capability to track a client account/credit card for as much as 32 days. If money would arrive in the account within the monitoring period, these kind of funds would be available for collection from the party initiating the debit.

Some short cases to explain where EFT and NAEDO debit order collections would be utilised:

1. An investment company desiring to collect an additional contribution from one of their investors would without a doubt make use of an EFT debit order as the likelihood of the investor having funds available for collection is quite high. The total to be collected might also often times go over the R5,000.00 NAEDO restriction and cost of the collection would have been a consideration.

2. Insurance brokers acquiring a monthly payment from one of their customers for funeral protection might be best off using a NAEDO debit order run. The prospect of this customer possessing money handy is very low and tracking might be beneficial to monitor the customers account for if money do show up (ordinarily their monthly paycheck).

Any micro lender would be better off utilising NAEDO because they contend with customers who normally do not have cash accessible within their accounts especially to the traditional debit collection days. It is rather apparent since these individuals may have a record of looking for credit and would possibly have numerous debit orders to several collectors going off on the same day. It is because of this that the randomisation of NAEDO transactions can be an important benefit to ensure each creditor posseses an similar possibility of being paid.

Conversely just about any company will probably select EFT for their favored debit order method because they keep some form of leveraging over their client in the form of ending/suspending service so as to acquire payment. Companies also tend not to supply any credit conditions and repayment is carried out on a per month time frame.

I realize there are several situations and border cases that may justify a service provider or creditor choosing to employ either EFT or EDO debit orders but will look into all these scenarios in depth in my subsequent article.
