Manual entry

Within both the Mandates and Collections views in the console, you can create a single entry or multiple entries by uploading a populated Excel template. In this article, we provide instructions on how to create a single mandate and collection via the console and BankTech applets. To learn more about creating multiple entries by means of a file upload, refer to this article.

Creating mandates and collections

Via applets

Mandates and collections can also be created via the BankTech applets. Links to the mandate and collection applets can be found below:

• Create EFT/NAEDO collection

• Create DebiCheck mandate

Our applets enable call centre agents and field agents to create mandates and collections without having to log into the console.

There is an industry limit of R25 000 for NAEDO collections. The bank will reject all collections over this amount.

Via the console

Within the Mandates or Collections view, click on the Actions button in the menu bar and select Add.

Certain input fields, such as the account number, can be verified in two ways. The user can do a Check Digit Verification (CDV) check which is an offline and free sense check of the account number, i.e. the account number length matches the type of account for the specified bank. Alternatively, the user can fully verify whether an account is correct and active by clicking on the AVSR link. This service is live and pay-as-you-use. Learn more

Once the forms have been completed and submitted, the data table will be updated accordingly. If either EFT or NAEDO was selected as a mandate instrument, the new mandate will show in the EFT/NAEDO tab view. Conversely, if DebiCheck was selected, the mandate will show in the DebiCheck tab view.
