How do direct debits work at Fundtap?
How do repayments work?
When you fund an invoice, Fundtap automatically schedules a direct debit from your nominated bank account on the invoice due date — no action is needed on your part.
How will I be notified before a repayment?
Direct debits are processed via GoCardless, a trusted third-party payment processor. You will receive the following notifications before your repayment is collected:
- An email from GoCardless ahead of the payment date.
- A text message from FundTap a few days before the repayment date.
Can I extend my repayment date?
Yes. If your customer is going to be late in paying you, follow these steps:
- Log in to your FundTap portal and navigate to the relevant invoice.
- Select the option to extend the repayment date and choose a new date within the allowed range.
- Confirm the extension.
Extension limits vary based on your account history — typically up to 7 days, or up to 14 days once you have completed two successful funding rounds. Log in to your FundTap portal to see the options currently available to you.
