What is DebiCheck?

DebiCheck is a process where you give permission for a debit order to go off your bank account for monthly loan payments. It also helps FinChoice verify your bank details for secure transactions.

  3. Click to accept your DebiCheck mandate
  4. Confirm with your bank via SMS or banking app
