To owe an account is to write down an amount of money in the debit of a bank account, which means a decrease in the balance available to the holder.
The basic direct debit or CORE is a payment instrument that allows payments to be made electronically and automatically between legal entities and / or individuals through a charge in the payer’s account.
Through this method, a company is normally given services – water, town hall, telephone, gas, insurance, etc. – to automatically charge the account without customer mediation. This function can also be used by another bank to enter an amount of money from another entity at no cost.
Once the debt is collected, if it is less than 3,000 euros, there are 30 calendar days + 2 business days to undo the payment . Although you can charge commission for an account debit, it is normal to be free.
Account debts have their origin, for example, in the payment of a receipt from any service company that is domiciled in the account of an individual or company, or by a withdrawal of cash made through an ATM of the entity .
There are four participants in a debit account operation:
- The creditor and his bank.
- The debtor and his bank.
