What are the benefits of direct debit?

For Employer-initiated Direct Debit, all you need to do is click Confirm and Send in the portal. This triggers a request for the Clearing House to debit your nominated financial institution account for the exact amount of the submission. You control when the payment occurs as it depends on when you complete the upload process. 

If needed, you can set up a separate authorisation for payment following upload via User Roles and Groups.
