Fixed rentals, plus the irregular fees and settlements around them
The rental is the metronome: fixed, monthly, predictable. The complexity is everything that happens around it, the documentation fees, the arrears, the early settlements, each on a different cadence and often a different rail.
A steady rental in a noisy book
The core rental collects cleanly over Direct Debit and rarely causes trouble. If that were the whole book, payments would be simple.
It is not. There are fees at inception, charges during the term, arrears when a rental fails, and settlement figures when a customer ends early. Each is a different amount on a different trigger.
Handle the rental on one system and the fees and settlements ad hoc, and reconciliation against the agreement is patchy, with one-offs landing unreferenced.
The payment mix that fits
Not one rail. The two to four that match how money actually moves here.
Collect the fixed monthly rental on a mandate, retried to the customer's pay date.
Pay out at drawdown and refund the same day, referenced to the agreement.
Take one-off settlement figures and fees over a bank link, without card fees on large amounts.
Your flow of funds, orchestrated
Drawdown is paid over Faster Payments against the agreement. The monthly rental collects over Direct Debit. Fees, arrears and early settlement figures are taken over Pay by Bank, so large one-offs avoid card charges and land referenced to the agreement. Rentals, fees and settlements all reconcile against the agreement on one ledger, so the book is clean rather than patched.
