Issue a SEPA direct debit mandate for the municipality
Service Description
The SEPA core direct debit is an EU-wide standard for direct debits. Unlike a bank transfer, the payee, i.e. your municipality, initiates the payment. By issuing a SEPA direct debit mandate, you agree in advance to the collection of the amount due and at the same time instruct your bank to honor the payment. The amounts to be paid by you can thus be automatically collected from your account by your local authority at a predetermined time.
A direct debit is particularly suitable for recurring payments.
Process flow
- You fill in the ThAVEL form "Issuing a SEPA direct debit mandate".
- Your local authority will check that you have provided all the necessary information.
- At least 14 days before the amount to be debited is due, you will receive advance notification of the upcoming direct debit.
- Your current account will be debited automatically on the due date.
Who should I contact?
Please contact your local authority.
Requirements
- You have to make a one-off or regular payment to another body.
- The payee, i.e. your local authority, offers you the option of having the money automatically debited from your account on the payment date.
- Your consent is required in advance so that the payee can collect the amount due by SEPA core direct debit. You give this consent in the form of a SEPA direct debit mandate.
- Each SEPA direct debit mandate must contain the following information:
- The name of the payee,
- a creditor identification number (CI),
- Name of the customer (payer),
- the name of the customer's bank (payer) and
- his customer identifier (IBAN).
- You can revoke your SEPA mandate at any time.

Fee: free of charge
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
- The local authority must notify you in good time, but at least 14 calendar days before the due date, that your current account is to be debited by SEPA direct debit so that you can prepare for the debit.
- The SEPA direct debit mandate is valid for 36 months.
- It expires automatically if no amount has been debited during this period.
- If the payee debits an amount during this period, the 36-month period starts again from this debit.
