Direct Debit for Charities
London & Zurich gives property managers and letting agents a smarter way to collect payments, with automated Direct Debit that runs on time, every time.
The charitable giving sector is more competitive than ever and it’s important to ensure your donors can give to their chosen cause quickly, easily and securely.
Whether you’re setting up regular, annual or one-off donations by phone, face-to-face or through online forms, we can bring faster collections and improved cash flow. We can offer favourable rates to registered charities and provide hands-on training for your teams so you can get the most out of our online platform and easy donor sign-up process.
Keeping regular donations coming in is vital to the lifeblood of a charity.
Our technology helps you to maintain a close relationship with your supporters.
How we work with you
We understand most charity work operates on a voluntary basis and your organisation relies on the goodwill of people giving up their time to help.
We want to make it easy for your staff to register new donors and will equip them with training and support to ensure the signing-up process is as simple as possible. Our system also enables you to pause regular payments if a donor wishes to pause donations. You can still keep the authority to collect, making it much easier for you and them when they can donate again.
We know that the business of collections is not one size fits all. Most of your donations might be regular and recurring, but you might take larger donations annually, add membership charges or there might be surges of one-off payments around particular campaigns. Whatever your situation, we’re here to help.

Favourable rate
We acknowledge our corporate and social responsibilities. We offer free training and have tailored our charges to charitable causes accordingly.
Easy sign-up
Signing up a donor to your charity should be as easy as possible. We’ll walk you through every step of our simple, straightforward process.
Payment holidays
The last thing you want is to lose a regular donor. If people need to stop payments, our system makes it easy for them to return later.
Tailored systems
No two organisations are alike and we will make sure our software and facilities fit perfectly with your systems and suit your needs.
With more and more charities competing for our donations, it’s important for charities to make it as easy as possible for businesses to donate. Direct Debit and card payment systems can make charitable giving a stress-free exercise for supporters and staff
