Direct debit for non-SEPA currencies
In addition to SEPA direct debit (EUR), direct debit is also available for selected non-SEPA currencies. This extension enables organizations to collect payments in local currencies while maintaining a process that closely mirrors the SEPA Direct Debit framework.
The non-SEPA direct debit method currently supports:
- CZK – Czech Republic (CZ)
- PLN – Poland (PL)
- DKK – Denmark (DK)
- GBP – United Kingdom (GB)
- SEK – Sweden (SE)
Each country follows its respective domestic Direct Debit scheme while preserving a unified initiation process within the system.
For Denmark (DK), Sweden (SE), Czech Republic (CZ), and the United Kingdom (GB), domestic Direct Debit processing is enabled through a dedicated conversion service provided by Deutsche Bank.
The conversion process:
- Accepts a derived version of the pain.008.02 XML format
- Converts the file into the required domestic banking format
- Processes transactions in accordance with the CGI (Common Global Implementation) standard between participating banks
