Companies are not aware of the many advantages of implementing a debit order service to receive monies from their consumers, let alone which debit order technique would be the suitable for their requirements.
Having successfully tackled companies payment collection strategies I am going to try to explain why you must be utilising debit order as best payment collection method for your company as well as which debit order approach is going to be perfect for your niche and type of client base.
We begin with what a debit order is:
A debit order is an instruction that a bank or credit card account owner provides a organization to collect funds directly from their bank account. They way in which a person gives this instruction is simply by completing a written or spoken (normally telephonic) debit order mandate.
A debit order, as we label it in South Africa, is often known as the direct debit in numerous regions of the world. To learn more about direct debits please see the relevant Wikipedia webpage.
In South Africa there's typically 2 types of debit order. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Early Debit Order (EDO) that may further be broken into Authenticated Early Debit Order (AEDO) and Non-authenticated Early Debit Order (NAEDO). EFT debit orders follow EDO debit orders when processed using the standard bank debit order runs. Both AEDO and NAEDO debit orders run in a randomised manner before EFT debit orders and give collectors an identical capability to collect monies from the customers.
NAEDO debit orders were launched in 2008 as a result of National Credit Act initiative and allow loan providers to collect up to R5,000.00 in the most fair manner possible. It is important to observe that normal EFT debit orders make provision for collecting up to R500,000.00 per debit instruction.
EFTs are often more affordable than AEDOs and NAEDOs but do not include the option to track a client account/credit card for up to 32 days. If monies would get to the account while in the tracking period, these monies could be reserved for collection by the party initiating the debit.
Some quick examples to clarify how EFT and NAEDO debit order collections can be used:
1. An investment business wanting to collect an additional payment from one of their clients would most likely use an EFT debit order since the likelihood of the client having money handy for collection is extremely high. The amount to be collected would also many times surpass the R5,000.00 NAEDO limit and cost of the collection could be a factor.
2. Insurance brokerages acquiring a monthly premium from one of their customers for funeral cover might be best off making use of a NAEDO debit order run. The likelihood of this individual having available funds is rather low and tracking will probably be helpful to keep tabs on the customers account for when funds do turn up (usually their once a month paycheck).
Almost any micro lender would be better off utilizing NAEDO because they deal with clientele who normally do not have cash available inside their accounts especially on the standard debit collection dates. This is certainly quite obvious since these people should have a history of applying for credit and would possibly have several debit orders to several loan providers going off on the same day. It's because of this that the randomisation of NAEDO transactions could become an enormous benefit to make sure each creditor has got an equal possibility of being compensated.
Conversely any service agency will more than likely choose EFT for their favored debit order solution because they maintain some sort of leverage over their consumer by means of ending/suspending service as a way to obtain payment. Service providers also usually do not offer any credit conditions and payment is carried out on a month to month basis.
I realize there are several situations and fringe cases which can warrant a service provider or creditor deciding to implement either EFT or EDO debit orders and will look into these situations in more detail in my up coming article.
