Working Notes on handling Direct Debit payments.
In the UK Direct Debit payments are handled via the BACS network, and it's over 40 year old procedures which work on day cycles for each step, so payments can take up to 6 days to complete.
BACS - DirectDebit
Direct Debit has it's own support website which is the source of useful material like the Direct Debit Guarantee.
