Direct Debit allows you to set a direct debit authorisation (known as a mandate), which MKAS can then use to directly debit your nominated bank account for invoices as they become due.

In order to use Direct Debit by GoCardless, you are required to electronically sign a mandate (authorisation).  

Authorising MKAS to direct debit (setting up a mandate)

1. Login to MyMKAS and and view your outstanding invoice (MyMKAS > Invoices Due)
   
    
2. Selet the outstanding invoice
   
    
3. Set the 'Payment Method' dropdown to 'Direct Debit'
   
    
4. Click 'Setup Mandate for Payment' and follow the on-screen wizard
   
    

Setting MyMKAS to default to Direct Debit as payment type

By following the above, you have authorised MKAS to collect payments from your nominated bank account, however, we will only collect payments for invoices where the payment method is set to 'Direct Debit'.

If you want, you can manually change each invoice as it is created to 'Direct Debit' by following the steps above, and ignoring the setting up of the mandate - you will be told that a mandate already exists.

If you would like all invoices to automatically be paid by direct debit, then follow these instructions:

1. Login to MyMKAS and click on your name, then 'Edit Account Details'
   
    
2. Search for the 'Payment Method' dropdown and select 'Direct Debit'
   
    
3. Select 'Save Changes' at the bottom of the screen

All new invoices will now be raised with the payment method of 'Direct Debit' and will be debited on the invoice due date.
