Direct Debit solutions for IT and software companies
London & Zurich gives IT and software businesses a reliable, scalable Direct Debit service that integrates neatly with your existing systems.
The billing challenges that hold software businesses back
For IT and software companies, recurring revenue is the foundation of a healthy business. Monthly retainers, annual licences and subscription-based billing all depend on payments arriving reliably; when they don’t, the knock-on effects are felt across the business.
Card-based payment models carry a hidden cost: failed payments due to expired cards, missed renewals and the operational overhead of chasing lapsed subscribers. Every failed transaction is a revenue gap and a potential churn risk.
Direct Debit sidesteps these problems. Because collections are initiated by you rather than relying on the customer to keep a card updated, failure rates are significantly lower. For businesses with predictable monthly or annual billing cycles, it’s the most reliable payment method available.
The challenge for IT businesses is often integration. You need a payment solution that fits into your existing automated workflows, not one that creates manual admin. London & Zurich’s API-first approach is designed exactly for that.
Direct Debit puts control back in your hands
We give you the ability to easily scale up as your company and client base expands.
What London & Zurich offers IT and software businesses
API integration with your billing engine
Our flexible API connects your management platform to the Direct Debit network, allowing you to trigger collections, update mandates and receive real-time payment status updates, all within your own automated workflows. Full API documentation and support is available for your development team.
Scalable collections as you grow
Whether you’re onboarding dozens of new clients a month or processing thousands of recurring licences, our platform scales without friction. No renegotiating pricing tiers or rebuilding your payment setup as your subscriber base grows.
Automated Direct Debit mandate management
Our system handles mandate creation, amendments and cancellations automatically, including AUDDIS (Automated Direct Debit Instruction Service) submissions, freeing your team from time-consuming manual processes.
Online sign-up for faster onboarding
Speed up customer onboarding with a branded online Direct Debit sign-up flow. New subscribers can set up their mandate instantly, reducing friction at the point of conversion.
Scalability of service
As the volume of your transactions increases, so can our capacity to manage them. Our servers and software are at the cutting-edge of our sector.
Visibility of transactions
Payment data is the gold dust of modern business. Analysis of your clients’ spends can inform decisions for your marketing and your future.
Larger one-off payments
