Use case

Check the balance before you debit.

Confirm a business customer's available balance before a direct debit or payout — fewer dishonours, fewer dishonour fees.

Is this you?

A dishonoured debit costs you twice: the payment and the fee.

When a business customer's account doesn't have the funds, the direct debit dishonours. You don't get paid, you wear a dishonour fee, your customer wears one from their bank — and someone has to chase the payment all over again.

How Skript can help

Under Australia's Consumer Data Right (CDR), a business customer can consent to share its account balances with the platform it uses. Check the available balance before you debit or pay out — no CDR accreditation needed on your side.

  • Confirm the available balance before a direct debit or payout.
  • Warn the business customer before a payment fails.
  • Fewer dishonours, fewer dishonour fees, less chasing.
