When you set up a direct debit, you allow us to deduct regular payments from your bank account to pay for your property rates.
Direct debit is free to set up. The amounts can change with each payment.
Direct debit for property rates payments can only be deducted from your bank account.
It takes three to five working days to set up a direct debit from the day we receive your application. If an instalment due date is coming up within this time, pay online so we receive your payment on time and you avoid a penalty.
If you are registered for myAUCKLAND, you can set up and manage your direct debit payments for all your properties.
You can also set up a direct debit online without logging in.
