What is the Direct Debit Initiative? The Direct Debit Initiative enables you to make payments to American Express when your American Express transactions are insufficient to collect any outstanding amounts. We may not need to use the Direct Debit facility, but if we do, we'll let you know five working days ahead of time with one easy-to-understand statement. So balancing your accounts and managing your cash flow is worry free.
It's guaranteed - You have the reassurance of knowing that every Direct Debit is protected by an immediate money back guarantee from your bank or building society if an error is made and the right to cancel at any time.
Advance notice - American Express will provide you with advance notice of the date and the amount that will be debited from your account to enable you to manage your cashflow.
Peace of mind - Knowing that any outstanding amounts are being paid automatically and payment dates will not be missed
It's more convenient - You will spend less time writing cheques and less money posting them.
