Unzer Direct Debit
Learn more about Unzer Direct Debit and its payment workflow.
SEPA Direct Debit is a payment method available in the European SEPA region and based on the EU SEPA rule book. The customer only needs their IBAN for making a payment. Unzer will debit the amount from the customer’s account and transfer it to the merchant. As SEPA Direct Debit is an unsecured payment method, we recommend that you use Direct Debit Secured.
