If you are a UK-based merchant with a British bank account that supports direct debit, you can now sign up for the UK direct debit (DD) solution to automate payment of EAS invoices.
Using DD, you will be able to settle EAS invoices automatically and in GBP from your current account. If you had your credit card as a payment solution, it will be automatically disconnected from the EAS payment provider as soon as you take up DD.
To initiate DD, go to the EAS dashboard and choose "Payments Methods" in the settings menu, top right corner:
In the direct debit section, choose "Add Direct Debit".
A window will open with a list of institutions supporting direct debit:
Choose your institution. The BACS page will open. Press "Continue".
A mandate form will open. Please complete it:
Depending on your institution, follow up with mandate registration and confirmation.
Once you finish, the new payment method will be displayed in your EAS dashboard.
The next time an EAS invoice is issued, EAS will attempt to use DD to settle it.
