Direct Debit is an integral part of the UK economy.
Our figures show that almost nine out of ten British adults have at least one Direct Debit commitment, with 73% of household bills paid this way; on top of that, 62% of people in GB prefer to pay regular bills by Direct Debit, with 41% advocating it for all regular bills, while the number of people who feel positively towards Direct Debit stands at 77%.
While Direct Debit usage has never been higher, we are committed to ensuring that this trusted and market-leading product continues to meet the future needs of millions of consumers and thousands of businesses alike, remaining a payment method of choice.
It is for this reason that we are launching a public consultation into Direct Debit in October 2016. This process will help us understand the business challenges and customer needs today and in the future – establishing where Direct Debit is functioning flawlessly and where there is potential to adopt changes to enhance the product still further.
We will be publishing a link to our online consultation here, so please check back in October and have your say in the future of the UK’s leading automated payment method.
The findings from our review will be published in the first half of 2017.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
