This agreement explains what your obligations are when undertaking a Direct Debit arrangement with us. It also details what our obligations are to you as your Direct Debit provider. Please hold on to this agreement.
1. Debiting your account
By committing to make a monthly donation you authorise The Malaghan Institute to arrange the agreed funds to be debited from your credit card or bank account at the financial institution as provided by you.
We will only arrange for funds to be debited from your account as authorised in the Direct Debit Request. If the debit days falls on a day that is not a banking day, we may direct your financial institution to debit your account on the following banking day. If you are unsure about which day your account has or will be debited you should ask your financial institution.
2. Amendments
You may alter, defer or terminate the direct debit arrangement by contacting the Malaghan Institute by phone on 04 499 6914, or by emailing fundraise@malaghan.org.nz or by writing to:

Any changes to direct debit arrangement, including termination of the arrangement must be made within 5 days of the next debit date. We cannot guarantee that any changes not made prior to five days will be actioned and this may result the donation being processed as normal.
All amendments and terminations of the agreement will be confirmed in writing by post or email by a member of our donor support team.

It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient clear funds available in your account to allow a debit payment to be made in accordance with the Direct Debit agreement.

If we conclude as a result of our investigations that your account has been incorrectly debited we will respond to your query by arranging for your financial institution to adjust your account (including interest and charges) accordingly. We will also notify you in writing of the amount by which your account has been adjusted.
You should advise us immediately if your nominated account is transferred or closed or if your account details change.
