What is a direct debit?
When you arrange a direct debit, you are giving someone else permission to take funds directly from your bank account. A direct debit authority is your instruction to your bank to accept debits from your account by another person or business (known as The Initiator) - in this case TOWER Insurance Limited (underwriters of Trade Me Insurance).

If you are asked to fill out a paper direct debit form, this will be sent to your email with your confirmation of insurance. You buy your policy and then finish the direct debit form and post it back!
