What is a direct debit system?
A direct payment system allows customers to transfer money from their bank account to yours. Using a cloud-based direct payment system, you will have the ability to manage all of your payment scheduling, collections, and processing online. And the ability to manage customer details from one central location.
Is direct debit safe?
In Australia, in order to make and collect direct debit payments, a business must be approved as a direct entry user by a financial institution. This requirement, along with the direct debit authority form, make direct debit one of the safest methods of payment.
At Biz Core, we take data security seriously. That’s why our direct debit processing platform is safeguarded using the multilayered Microsoft Azure Cloud Security. With built-in security controls and real-time global cybersecurity intelligence, our system rapidly identifies and stops new threats.
