Many businesses often find it challenging to set up Direct Debit payments with their bank. In fact, some banks have recently withdrawn sponsorship on SUNs (Service User Numbers), the unique six-digit number that businesses must obtain to collect payments via Direct Debit.
Other challenges that businesses face when trying to obtain a SUN from their bank include the need to meet the minimum turnover requirements, not to mention the lengthy administration and activation process which can take up to ten days.
