What is a Direct Debit?
Australian Direct Debits are instructions that withdraw funds from AUD accounts domiciled in Australia and belonging to approved payers. The funds are then deposited into an Australia-domiciled AUD account registered in ANZ Transactive – Global.
Direct Debits are submitted in batches, with each batch containing between 1 and 100,000 instructions, up to a maximum total value of $99,999,999,999.99.
