How the Service Works

    Your business, (referred to as an Originator in the Direct Debit Scheme) asks its customers (referred to as Payers) for an authority or mandate to make periodic deductions from the Payers’ Bank account being payments for a service offered. The Originator then forwards the instructions to I&M Bank to collect the monies owed as per stated frequency and credit the proceeds to the Originators Bank account at I&M Bank. Funds from other Banks are collected through the Clearing House under Tanzania Bankers Association.
