Best UAE Direct Debit System
Posted: Oct 31, 2017
A direct Debit or Debit Order or direct withdrawal is a financial transaction in which one entity withdraws funds from another person’s bank account. Formally, the payee who directly draws funds instructs his or her bank to collect an amount – Debit – directly from the payer’s bank account designated by the payer and pay those funds into a bank account designated by the payee. Before we continue further we must tell you the Mashreq Bank UAE Direct Debit System is very convenient and popular among residents.
These UAE Direct Debit can be created for varying amounts and dates. As soon as the transfer through the UAE direct debit order is made, the bank records it. The payee records the amount once it receives notification from the bank. Thus, the balance on a bank statement may be lower than the cash book balance because direct debits have not been accounted for by the payee. The cash book of the payee must be adjusted to eliminate the difference in a bank reconciliation.
