Direct Debit Terms & Conditions
A feature of the Milford Client Portal is that it facilitates you making Fund investments. One way to do this is by authorising Milford to make a direct debit – Milford does this by withdrawing funds from your specified bank account and using them to make a Fund investment. In such cases the following applies:
- Milford must give you at least 10 days’ prior notice before the first Direct Debit in a series is drawn, detailing the commencement date, frequency and amount.
- You can also agree with Milford to receive a same day notice for direct debits specifically requested by you.
- All notices must be in writing, but can be delivered electronically, if you have agreed that with Milford.
- You can also ask your bank to reverse a direct debit up to 120 days after the direct debit if:
- You didn’t receive proper notice, before the first debit in a series or of any changes to a series, of the amount and date of the direct debit, or
- You received notice but the amount or date of the direct debit is different from the amount or date on the notice.
- If your bank dishonours a direct debit but Milford retries it within 5 business days of the original scheduled direct debit, you understand that the Milford doesn’t need to notify you again about that direct debit.
