NAEDO: Good, debit orders that raise your collection success rates

By Tim Smart


Ask not what your company can do for monthly payment collection, but what effective, cost effective payment collection is able to do with regards to your small business. Quite possibly the most efficient, cost effective payment strategies currently available is known as a NAEDO or Non-Authenticated Early Debit Order. This payment procedure mixes the effectiveness of debit orders together with the intelligent tracking of credit payments to extend the likelihood of successful collections and lower fees allocated to retries and returned debits.

NAEDO debit orders were introduced together with AEDO or Authenticated Early Debit Orders in South Africa in September 2006. These fairly new payment systems were brought in to increase debit order effectiveness by letting smart, honest action of any debit order as near to a credit payment (e.g. salary deposit) as you can. AEDO payments tend to be linked with pos transactions where a future dated debit is mandated by pin authentication, with a debit or charge card or bank-account for instance. NAEDO debits will not require pin authorization, have a R5,000.00 per item transaction cap and tend to be only approved to generally be submitted on banking accounts.

To eradicate the escalating problem of preferential payment access where some classes of beneficiaries always had admission to account holder funds before others the NAEDO along with its contemporaries were launched. The introduction of new legislation allowed for the phasing out from existing preferential practices removing unfair reduced collection success for some beneficiary classes and establishing an identical stage for anyone. NAEDO's are processed in a random, non-preferential basis, providing every beneficiary or company with the equal and fair ability to collect payments.

The wonder behind a Non-Authenticated Early Debit Order (NAEDO) is that it could be enhanced by using tracking facilities. This means the beneficiary or vendor can stretch the mandated date over a specified period of time allowing the debit order instruction to remain kept active, but unprocessed, until a credit payment is receive within the account. This significantly raises the creditor's likelihood of collecting.

All taken into consideration, a NAEDO doesn't just give your business a fair chance of collecting funds, but increases your likelihood for this by allowing tracking to bring about the debit at the most opportune time. If you are worried about your collection efficacy now could be the time to switch to NAEDO.
