Collect

To Collect is to pull funds from a user, into your bank account - initiated by the payee.

Example: Piper Pay, a PFM app, charges a monthly $2.99 subscription fee for their customers to continue using their service. On the 1st of every month, they will collect this fee from their customers using the Basiq API.

How does collect appear?

All payrequests submitted on an Australian business day before 7pm will appear as individual payments on your payers' bank accounts. All the funds cleared and settled will be credited to your dedicated float account. You will then be able to Send workflow those funds out from your float account.

Example: Piper Pay has 10 active users, so when they charge all users on the 1st of the month, each user will have a single transaction of $2.99 on their individual bill.
