Frequently asked questions

What does ACB mean next to a month?

ACB indicates that the payment for that month will be processed via debit order. Months that remain as No will not be processed via debit order.

Where do I enter the banking details for the debit order?

Banking details are entered on the Accountable Person tab of the learner's profile. You also select here on which day the debit order must run.

Can a debtor pay both current and arrear debt via debit order?

Yes. Set up the standard debit order for current fees and activate the Pay arrear debt with a debit order option separately for the outstanding debt.
