Direct Debit

Paying for subscriptions and performance improvement awards (aka standards) is now possible by direct debit. Set it up when you renew and your renewals this year and in future years are taken care. 

How It Works – A Simple Timeline:
- Day 1: You set up your Direct Debit (just a couple of minutes online when you renew or purchase a membership extra). To be clear, you can only set up your Direct Debit at time of purchase, not in advance.
- Day 2: You receive an email titled “Confirmation of Setup of Direct Debit Instruction with Stripe.”
- Day 6: You get another email, “Direct Debit initiated for Stripe,” confirming the amount and the date the payment will be taken.
- Day 8: The payment is taken from your account.

In the future your payments are automatically taken on or shortlly after 1st January each year. You will get an alert with the payment reference, a code ending in XNC that you will be informed of when the DD is setup. No need to remember to do anything, and no chance of accidentally lapsing your membership. At the same time, you’re  protected by all the usual guarantees of the direct debit scheme.

A Note for Club Officials
There are a few helpful updates to be aware of in the membership system:
There’s now a payment method attribute in the member list. This will show as postal, card,or direct debit. As soon as a member sets up a Direct Debit, their payment method is updated, and they’re considered paid up from that point. Once the payment is actually taken, it appears in the payment log 8 to 10 days after the DD was set up. Direct Debit entries are marked with a bank symbol, and the payment method is confirmed as direct debit in the log.
