  • SEPA Core Direct Debit

    Payers have a general right of objection within eight weeks (56 calendar days) from the date of debit, without having to give a reason. In the case of unauthorized debits (non-existent or invalid SEPA Core Direct Debit mandates), the right of objection applies for 13 months from the date of the debit. This must be claimed as soon as you become aware of the debit.

    In the event of an objection, the following information is required: your own PostFinance account number or IBAN, the booking date, the amount and the name and address of the payment recipient.
