"I spend 10 hours a month chasing late payments. I'm a volunteer, not a debt collector."
"Bank reconciliation is a nightmare. Failed standing orders, manual transfers, it's chaos."
"Awkward conversations about overdue fees. I hate it. They hate it. There must be a better way."

View full pricingWhy Direct Debit beats card payments and PayPal
Lower transaction fees
Direct Debit costs 1% capped at £2. Card payments cost 2-3% with no cap. On a £500 annual subscription, that is £5 vs £15.
Higher success rates
Card payments fail when cards expire. Direct Debit mandates stay active until cancelled. 98% collection rate vs 85-90% for cards.
Automatic retry on failure
If a Direct Debit fails (insufficient funds), Swimly automatically retries after 3 days. No chasing required.
Protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee
Full refund if a payment is taken in error. Trust signal for parents concerned about automated payments.
"Direct Debit through Swimly saved us 10 hours a month. No more chasing payments, no more bank reconciliation nightmares. It just works."
