Results from a recent survey conducted in the EU, suggests that while looking for a new solution to support operations, customer centres looking to lead the charge should select a system that is flexible enough to accommodate both traditional and new channels to create a truly multi-channel contact centre environment.

Know Your Debit Orders: The Game Is Changing. So Should Your Strategy
South African credit providers are heavily reliant on debit orders as a payment channel. There are two broad types of debit orders that we have: standard debit orders, and early debit orders. The early debit orders are further broken down into two types – being Non-Authenticated Early Debit Orders (NAEDO) and Authenticated Early Debit Orders (AEDO).
The difference between the two broad types is really when the debit order is processed during the day. Standard debit orders are processed during the late ‘window’, so sometime during the afternoon, and early debit orders are processed very early in the morning. There is the added enhancement of early debit orders being able to track the customer’s account for available funds for up to 32 days.
So as a credit provider why is it important to now care a lot more as to how these two types of debit orders perform? Well, what if you weren’t allowed to use the early ‘window’ anymore?
