Companies are not aware of the advantages of using a debit order company to collect funds from their customers, let alone which debit order method could be the best for their needs.
Having successfully tackled many companies payment collection strategies Let me try and explain why you ought to be utilizing debit order as favorite payment collection solution to your business as well as which debit order process would be most suitable for your sector and type of clientele.
Lets start with what a debit order is:
A debit order is an instruction which a bank or credit card account owner gives a organization to recover monies directly from their bank account. They manner in which a client provides this instruction is by performing a written or verbal (usually telephonic) debit order mandate.
A debit order, as we label it in South Africa, is usually known as a direct debit in many areas of the globe. For more information on direct debits please visit the appropriate Wikipedia webpage.
In South Africa there is generally 2 types of debit order. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Early Debit Order (EDO) which may additionally be broken into Authenticated Early Debit Order (AEDO) and Non-authenticated Early Debit Order (NAEDO). EFT debit orders run after EDO debit orders when processed via the standard bank debit order runs. Both AEDO and NAEDO debit orders run in a very randomised manner before EFT debit orders and give collectors an identical opportunity to collect funds from their consumers.
NAEDO debit orders were announced in 2008 as a result of National Credit Act initiative and enable loan providers to collect up to R5,000.00 through the most fair way achievable. It is important to note that normal EFT debit orders allow for collecting as much as R500,000.00 per debit instruction.
EFTs are usually less expensive than AEDOs and NAEDOs but don't include the option to track an individuals account/credit card for as much as 32 days. If funds would get to the account within the tracking period, these monies is going to be reserved for collection by the party initiating the debit.
Some simple illustrations to explain how EFT and NAEDO debit order collections might be used:
1. An investment organization wanting to collect an additional payment from one of their clients would almost certainly use an EFT debit order for reason the probability of the customer having available funds for collection is extremely high. The total to get collected would also many times go over the R5,000.00 NAEDO limit and cost of the collection might be a consideration.
2. Insurance brokers recovering a monthly payment from one of their customers for funeral cover would be better off utilising a NAEDO debit order run. The odds of this client having money handy is rather low and tracking is going to be helpful to keep tabs on the clients account for when funds do turn up (commonly their once a month wage).
Almost any micro loan company would be better off using NAEDO as they do business with clients who tend not to have cash available inside their accounts especially around the standard debit collection days. This is quite self evident as these individuals should have a history of seeking credit and would possibly have many debit orders to numerous creditors going off on the same day. It is because of this that the randomisation of NAEDO orders can become a major benefit to make sure each creditor has an identical possibility of being paid back.
In contrast any service agency will in all probability select EFT as their preferred debit order procedure since they maintain some kind of power over their customer by means of ending/suspending service in order to obtain payment. Service providers also ordinarily do not offer any credit terms and payment is completed on a regular monthly basis.
I understand there are plenty of scenarios and fringe cases that might cause a service provider or creditor choosing to make use of either EFT or EDO debit orders and definitely will look into these situations in greater detail in my next blog post.
