Adfin direct debit

Take every retainer on the day it's due

Clients set up a direct debit once, and every retainer is taken on its due date. Already on direct debit elsewhere? Clients don't need to sign up again.

01

Add it to your agreement

Send a direct debit link with your contract, so it's set up before work starts.

02

Invoice as normal

Adfin takes each retainer on its due date, for whatever you invoice.

03

Know when cash is coming

Retainers are taken on the same day each month, so payroll is easier to plan. Failed payments retry for free, with a fallback.

Features

More ways Adfin helps

Bundle invoices into one payment

Take deposits upfront

Send a payment link for a deposit before work starts, or split a project fee into instalments.

Card limits for each client

Rebates that sync automatically

Credit notes sync from Xero or QuickBooks, so balances stay right.

CUSTOMER STORIES

Don't take our word for it

You could have the best [Finance team] in the world, but they’re not going to log on at three o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday and send a reminder email, even if they know that’s when they usually pay, but AI within Adfin will do that.
We just send an email, here is your payment link, and clients love it. Whether it’s Apple Pay or credit card, they’ll just be double-clicking on their phone like they would with any other bill.
Adfin has made our work more seamless, which means we've got more capacity to take on extra clients.
For a young, fast-growing firm, Adfin is the difference between guessing what's in the bank next month and knowing.
We've got lots of people that say they're against Direct Debit. They're not. They're against paying monthly or paying quarterly. They just want to pay when they get an invoice.
It reconciles automatically, which is absolutely brilliant. With this I don't have to go back and check, so it saves me probably a couple of hours, which is time better spent.
It's probably been the most effective method we've had for getting clients who didn't want to go on direct debit to sign up to more automated payments. Adfin's helped bring them onto a more automated payment method and change their mindset on paying.
When you're account managing, you want positivity at the centre of it. It's very hard to do that and then ask for money, even if they are in the wrong.
Working with Adfin feels like a dream scenario for a business owner - I've got a team of smart, dedicated people building software to solve my biggest business problems.
We used to have 1 in 5 of our invoices paid late. Through the use of Adfin, that's now changed to 1 in 15. It makes our whole process more reliable.
I don't have to worry about trying to find what amount is owed - I just click send and I know that Adfin will sort out everything within that email - for me it was a huge game-changer.
What’s been really helpful about Adfin is that you build a flow once, and it triggers automatic reminders and chasers, saving a huge amount of time, and more importantly mental headspace.
If you've got those niggles about late payments and fees, and the ability to get people onto direct debit, I wouldn't hesitate to switch.
Our vision when we started Represent was to have all of our clients on direct debit. This is how we set expectations with our clients. You sign up, you sign the direct debit, and we start working together
The main thing I wanted was the automation of rental collections, and a single place where I can see who has paid, who hasn't paid and who's at risk. Adfin is giving me all of that.
Adfin doesn't charge for retries, and it gives us the ability to collect all of our payments through the same platform: card payments, bank transfers and direct debits all in one place.
We had 20 years of direct debit mandate history to wash through as part of this... the support we got in that journey was fantastic.
