RECURRING PAYMENT AGREEMENT

RECURRING PAYMENT AGREEMENT

A recurring payment (recurring charges) is a type of a bank payment intended for periodic and regular automatic payments and transfers from a Bank Card for services, goods or information. Such a payment requires no need for any action by the Card Holder. A bank initiates a recurring payment on its own on the basis of a client's long-term order after the successful completion of the first payment.

The main types of auto payments are as follows:

  • Recurring or scheduled payments are performed once a period for a predetermined amount.
  • Event payments are performed upon the occurrence of any external event (for example, a balance decreasing below the threshold value). A payment amount is determined by a client in advance.
  • Debt payments are carried out in an appropriate amount upon detection of a debt. A payment amount is set according to client-defined limits.
