Withdrawal Instructions (also known as a Payment Instruction) are instructions given by a payer to a financial institution, so that money can be withdrawn from their account. Depending on the payment type, these instructions can be manual or automated. Manual Withdrawal Instructions involve the payer providing the financial institution with written instructions that detail the amount to be withdrawn, from which account, and the beneficiary. Automated Withdrawal Instructions involve the payer setting up a standing order or Direct Debit with their financial institution. This allows them to specify the amount to be withdrawn, from which account, and the beneficiary. This type of instruction is typically used to meet regular payment obligations such as loan repayments, rent payments, or utility bills. In some cases, Withdrawal Instructions may also include instructions for the financial institution to transfer money to another account. This is called a Wire Transfer Instruction. This type of instruction involves the payer providing the financial institution with written instructions that detail the amount to be withdrawn, from which account, and the destination account.
