Easily collect regular payments from your customers

Direct Debit Scheme
Direct Debits is a service that aids businesses to collect regular payments from their customers holding accounts in various Banks.If your business/organization requires regular repetitive collections to be made ( Membership fees, rent, utility payments, insurance premium, etc), this service will enable you to directly collect the payable amounts from your customers’ bank account without them having to keep arranging for payment every time. It saves you and your customers administrative time and expenses.
Among other benefits that your business and your customers will enjoy include:
- It is easy and convenient – the process is automated after initial set-up
- Free set-up for corporates
- Cost effective
- Better cash flow management
- Quick reconciliation using ready reports
- Easy to pick and follow-up on failed payments
- Eliminates risks of cash payments and cheque clearing
- Automatic transfers as per desired frequency – No need for your customers to keep tracking the due dates.
How the Service Works
- Your business, (referred to as an Originator in the Direct Debit Scheme) asks its customers (referred to as Payers) for an authority or mandate to make periodic deductions from the Payers’ Bank account being payments for a service offered. The Originator then forwards the instructions to I&M Bank to collect the monies owed as per stated frequency and credit the proceeds to the Originators Bank account at I&M Bank. Funds from other Banks are collected through the Clearing House under Kenya Bankers Association.
