Digital Mandate Service<\/h1>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAlmost everyone in the Netherlands uses direct debits, for example to pay their energy bills, insurance premiums, or subscriptions. With Digital Direct Debit Authorizations, you can arrange the necessary direct debit authorizations easily and reliably online via your own bank, rather than using a paper form. This allows you to provide the collector with the correct information once and for all. Your bank records your authorization to the collector in a transparent manner, and you can easily revoke it if necessary.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

What is Digital Mandate Service?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Digital Mandate Service (Digitaal Incassomachtigen<\/strong>\/DIM in Dutch)<\/strong> is a reliable way to give a company or institution online permission to debit a one-time or recurring amount from your payments account. Instead of a paper direct debit authorization, you issue a digital authorization via your mobile banking app or online banking. This method is just as legally valid as the traditional paper version and complies with European SEPA standards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Digital Mandate Service work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The process is just as simple as online banking. You go through the following steps with a creditor (a company or institution):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. At the creditor’s, you choose (digitaal) Incassomachtigen<\/strong><\/em> as your payment method online.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. You select your own bank in the app or on the creditor’s website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. You are redirected to your bank’s mobile app or online banking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. All the necessary details for the authorization are already there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. You approve the authorization digitally, as you are used to doing with your bank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Your bank confirms that you have approved the authorization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. You return to the collector’s website or app; done!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
