Direct debit - a payment service for debiting a payer's payment account, potentially on a recurrent basis, where a payment transaction is initiated by the payee on the basis of payer's consent given to the payee, to the payee's PSP, or to the payer's own PSP.
Direct debit initiated in a file/batch - an electronically initiated direct debit that is a part of a group of direct debits jointly initiated by the payee. Each direct debit contained in a batch is counted as a separate direct debit when reporting the number of transactions.
Direct debit initiated on a single payment basis - an electronically initiated direct debit that is independent from other direct debits, i.e. that is not part of a group of direct debits jointly initiated.
Data on volume and value of direct debits are shown as: total transactions, domestic transactions and cross-border transactions.
Cross-border transactions- payer's PSP and payee's PSP are located in different countries. In the table cross-border transactions include transactions with all countries except Slovenia.
The period from 2015 until 2021 is included.
