Direct debit amounts and payments date vary. They are initiated by the company or business receiving the payment and not by the Bank.
The customer must notify the company or business receiving the payment of any change to their account details.

The notification for cancellation must be communicated to the Bank at least four business days before the payment is due. The customer should also simultaneously inform the company or the business receiving the payment that the direct debit is to be cancelled.
