Collect money from another account

In order to collect money via direct debits, you have to fulfil a few prerequisits. First of all a creditor identifier is required. You can get one from the Deutsche Bundesbank. Moreover, each direct debit requires a unique mandate id and a valid mandate signature. If not, the box will reject your order.

This is the most basic direct debit. The box also supports recurring direct debits and special forms like CD1 and B2B.
