Everything you need to know.
SURETY IS IN PLACE FOR SECURITY
What is surety?
For your organisation to be able to collect debit orders, the bank requires a surety of %10 on your debit order facility.
Your debit order facility has a limit on the maximum value that you can process in a calendar month. The surety required will always be 10% of your total facility.
If you are new to debit orders for example, your facility can be set up with a limit of R5000.00. (R500 surety)
If you ned to increase your limit, then an increase in the surety amount will be required.
1. Upfront surety
Your organisation deposits %10 of the size of the facility that you wish to start with.
Should your revenue increase to a point that exceeds the facility, we will increase your limit and invoice for the corresponding surety amount.
2. Surety as a deduction
Should your organisation prefer to accumulate surety, surety can be accumulated as a deduction off of collections.
Each batch that is processed, %10 of your collections are deducted towards your surety amount until complete.
