Background
There have been bad behaviour by some companies that process invalid debit orders to consumer bank accounts. In addition, there are consumers that avoid paying valid debit orders by unfairly disputing these with their banks.
As a result, the Reserve Bank has asked PASA, which includes the South African banks, to find a solution. This is why DebiCheck is being introduced as the new secure debit order platform.

DebiCheck for Consumers
South Africans use debit orders as a convenient way to pay accounts.
To reduce the risk of unauthorised debit orders on consumer accounts, the Reserve Bank together with PASA, and the South African banks, introduced DebiCheck as a solution. DebiCheck will be the new debit order platform for secure debit order payments in South Africa.
A DebiCheck debit order is a debit order which is electronically confirmed by the consumer, via one of the following methods; his banking app, online banking, SMS/USSD or ATM.
The consumer will receive a notification via push notification or SMS. The consumer must authorise the mandate by 20h00 that same day - via his banking app, ATM or internet banking.
In our industry the Debt Review debit orders will also be changed over soon to DebiCheck to be compliant and secure. All Naedo debit orders will be phased out eventually, and DebiCheck will be the preferred platform for debit orders.
It’s important to ensure your cell phone number of the consumer is updated with the bank.
