What is Bacs Direct Debit?

Bacs Direct Debit is a direct-debit scheme that pulls funds from a customer's bank on a schedule — perfect for subscriptions and retainers.

Bacs Direct Debit is a bank debit method used in United Kingdom. Your customer signs a mandate once — usually inside a hosted checkout from your payment link — and from that moment you can pull funds on a recurring schedule automatically. UK customers set up one-off or recurring payments through Bacs Direct Debit.

With PayRequest, Bacs Direct Debit mandates are captured by sharing a payment link. Subsequent charges run automatically, and PayRequest's dunning automation retries failed pulls with smart timing and customer-friendly emails — keeping involuntary churn low for your subscriptions.

Bacs Direct Debit is one of the cheapest ways to bill recurring customers — typically a few cents per pull or under 1%, far below card processing rates. PayRequest charges 0% on top.
