Information about the SEPA Core Direct Debit procedure

What is the SEPA Core Direct Debit procedure

The existing direct debit procedure was replaced by the SEPA Direct Debit procedure. As a consequence of that, a combination of IBAN and BIC is now required for payments, instead of national sort code (bank code) and account number. The existing direct debit authorization is now called "SEPA direct debit mandate".

What are IBAN und BIC

IBAN is the International Bank Account Number. Within the SEPA direct debit procedure it replaces the current (national) account number. BIC (Business Identifier Code) is also known as SWIFT code and is used to uniquely identify the financial institution. Within the SEPA direct debit procedure, the BIC replaces the current (national) bank code.

For an initial payment by SEPA direct debit, we ask for your correct IBAN and BIC. Find your IBAN and BIC on your account statement or in the customer area of your online banking website.

Provisions for SEPA Direct Debit
