Electronically signing mandates allows you to streamline the mandate sign-up process; no need to manually process or archive paper.
Overview
Note: A mandate is an agreement between a merchant and a customer in which the customer (the payer) gives consent to the merchant to take funds from a nominated account either on a once-off basis or, more typically, for a recurring series of payments.
Electronic Mandates (E-Mandates) allow you to capture your payers’ bank account details and retrieve their authorisation without the need for traditional paper-based mandates.
We currently offer the following implementation options:
| Overlay | Your customers select to sign a mandate and an overlay window is generated positioned on top of your merchant site. This is a seamless experience for your users and they do not need to know that a third party is involved in the sign-up process. |
| Redirect | With a Redirect, users see a new tab or Window being opened when they click the Sign button. |
| WordPress | Our WordPress plug-in offers you the easiest integration option but is only available if your site has been built on WordPress. |
| Direct API | This option allows you the greatest control, allowing you to build your own client from the ground up using our powerful APIs. |
Tip: It is also possible to leverage Open Banking to create an electronic mandate. For more information, see the Open Banking E-mandate Overview
