Hi George,
Other organisations, such as banks, energy companies and companies who sell
goods paid for by monthly direct debit have no problem, so whilst I reckon
you're probably right, I can't help wondering whether the RNIB might have
introduced an excessively drastic solution to a simple problem. What
payment methods, both online and off, do the RNIB now accept?
Best,
Clive

I suspect it's a matter of security one way or the other.

Hi Henry,
I don't but it's weird. If they used GoCardless, then their transaction
fees would be less than those of a credit card, so I don't understand it.
We do have the direct debit facility by the way, as I do use GoCardless

All the best

Good Evening Folks
I called the RNIB shop this afternoon to order some Loc Dots and was told
that I could no longer use my direct debit facility as this has now been
withdrawn by the RNIB to all customers. The RNIB representative was very
apologetic and vague.
I therefore paid for my goods using my credit card.
Does anyone know why the Direct Debit service has been withdrawn?
Best wishes
Henry
