Preparing your Rabobank Account for Direct Debit
A direct debit is an instruction from a customer to their bank that allows a third-party to receive money from their account. This works only if the bank has been given advance notice of the amounts and dates of collection. For you to work with Payment Management and Rabobank on direct debit transactions, you require the authorization to do so.
Authorization on user level
To work with Payment Management and Rabobank on direct debit transactions, you require certain user permissions.
To set user permissions on Rabobank:
On Rabobank, go to Overzicht (Overview) > Gebruikersauthorisaties (User authorizations) > Overzicht Gebruikers (Users overview) > Gebruiker (User) > Algemeen (General).
Navigate to Betalen (Payment), and enable Importeren betaal en incassobestanden (Import of payment and direct debit files).
Navigate to Inzage, and enable Gegevens van passen en rekeningen inzien (Access to cards and accounts).
