AIB student account direct debit

elli0t

i have an AIB student plus account and i want to set up a direct debit on it to pay for a 1 month contract with meteor.

my question is do i get charged to set up a direct debit?? its a bit confusing on the AIB website http://www.aib.ie/personal/current-accounts/AIB-Student-Plus-Account

and if you go onto this website http://www.bonkers.ie/compare-current-accounts/current-account/4-aib-student-plus-account-current-account under 'regular transaction' at the bottom it says that there is no fee only if its unpaid but on the aib website it says 'Cheques, direct debits or standing orders presented on your account and returned unpaid'.

does that mean that i get charged to set up a direct debit or just for unpaid bills??

any help would be appreciated thanks

You get charged a fee if they request the money and its not their, not the initial setup of the direct debit or when its paid

excellent, thanks dave thats exactly what i wanted to know

can i set up a direct debit online or do i have to go into at bank to do it??

the contract is only 1 month long so will i have to redo it ever month or will it take the money out of my account automatically??

a direct debit is setup by the company who is getting the money.
a standing order would be something you would setup.

yes.

check with meteor to confirm what dates and what amounts they will take money though.
