Pre-authorized debits are revocable payment arrangements between members and payees (e.g., insurance companies, financial institutions, strata corporations) whereby the member authorizes the payee to deduct payments (e.g., insurance premiums, mortgage/loan payments, investment contributions, strata fees) for a specified amount from the member’s account at regular intervals. Payments are most commonly processed electronically through the payee’s financial institution, although in some cases paper vouchers are still generated.
