How much do they charge you?
- mseebach 15y agoAbout £0.50 per payment, regardless of size. Certainly quite affordable, I chickened because the terms and conditions if you're handling payments for others was grey area at best, and it was hard to determine what regulations would apply for a cash-holding transaction-middleman. They also only process direct debits monthly, and the payment needs to be advised weeks in advance, so the debtor can object. Fine for recurring memberships etc., not really suitable for one-off payments. Finally, there's a deeply entrenched national debit-ish card, run by the same nominally private sector entity running direct debits. They essentially write their own rules for the entire sector in Denmark, and I wasn't really too keen on going up against them. So perfect match for the schlepp-essay :)
