DebiCheck is a secure debit order payment system which allows you to electronically approve your debit order details with your bank.
An approved DebiCheck debit order mandate is required to pay your money into your bank account and collect your monthly instalments.
DebiCheck was introduced to protect customers and organisations from fraudulent activity and debit order abuse, for example processing of unauthorised debit orders resulting in high dispute rates. It will also prevent customers from avoiding paying valid debit orders by unfairly disputing them with their bank.
DebiCheck serves to protect customers, requiring credit providers:
All Capfin customers will undergo our loan application process, and then receive instruction from their bank to approve the debit order mandate from Capfin.
Your bank will send you a USSD notification which you must accept or reject. If you do not receive a USSD notification, you can also approve the debit order mandate via one of your preferred banking channels.
Should you not approve the request, Capfin will request the bank to load the debit order on your behalf. If our request is unsuccessful, we will contact you to assist you with the debit order approval process. Please remember, a delay in approving the request from your bank will delay the transfer of your money into your bank account.
Historically, customers could give verbal or written consent to creditor providers to submit debit order instructions. With DebiCheck, all debit order mandates will be sent to you, via your bank for your approval before any deduction may take place. The bank will, therefore, store your DebiCheck debit order agreement with them.
DebiCheck serves to protect customers by issuing an active, authenticated mandate, which means service or credit providers cannot deduct more than agreed to or abuse the debit order system.
Your bank will notify you of the pending DebiCheck mandate that requires your approval. Be sure to follow your bank’s instructions carefully. If you do not accept the approval of the mandate, Capfin will not be able to process your loan. Your bank will advise you of several approval channels, which should confirm your Capfin DebiCheck debit order. This includes, but is not limited to the following:
You only need to approve Capfin’s DebiCheck mandate once, unless you make the following changes during your loan period;
