When making a BACS Direct Debit payment, the shopper needs to enter their name, bank account number, sort code, and email address. Before they continue to pay, the shopper confirms that the account is in their name and that they agree with the payment. After the payment is received, they are given the option to download a copy of the Direct Debit Instruction (DDI) or 'mandate'. Taking the BACS processing cycle into account, it can take four to six before payment is cleared and settled.
