Table of contents

If you are invoiced in USD, you can register to pay your invoices by direct debit. The process depends on whether your USD is located in the US or outside of the US.

USD account held in the US

Complete the registration process if the account from which you want the invoices to be debited must be located in the United States.

  • Ensure duly authorised persons in your institution sign the form and send the completed form to:

    Swift SC
    Treasury Department
    Avenue Adèle, 1
    1310 La Hulpe, Belgium
  • Send a copy of the form by email to treasury.generic@swift.com

For questions on activation of the direct debit and direct debit procedure, please refer to the USD direct debit explanation guide and FAQs.
