2.2.1 Direct Debit – a payment collected via UK Direct Debit scheme operated by Bacs from or to your Account.

Schedule 1 - Direct Debit Payouts Service [where you are the payer]

1. A Direct Debit is a payment set up on your account following a request from a third party payee. You may be asked to sign a form which authorises the payee to request payments from your account.

2. You may set up, view or can cancel a Direct Debit Payout through the WebApp. 

3. Where a Direct Debit Payout has to be cancelled by Airwallex one or more times due to insufficient funds in your account (as applicable) and we believe you are unlikely to have sufficient funds in the future, Airwallex may cancel a Direct Debit immediately and without prior notice. 

4. Where an error is made on a Direct Debit Payout by the payee, the payee’s bank, or Airwallex, you’ll be entitled to an immediate refund from the payee [or from us]. For more information on the Direct Debit Guarantee please see www.directdebit.co.uk   

5. If you want a refund for a Transaction made using the Direct Debit scheme, the Direct Debit Guarantee will apply instead of the terms governing refunds in the Payout and FX Terms.

6. Cancellations

6.1 You can cancel any Direct Debit Payout transaction set up on your account provided you give us notice to cancel at least one Business Day before the Transaction is due to take place.

6.2 Cancelling a Direct Debit Payout with us will not cancel ‎the agreement with the person you are paying. It is your responsibility to tell the organisation collecting ‎the payment about the changes to your instructions.‎
