<Info>
  SEPA direct debit transactions have a limit of 10,000 € each. For new users, there’s an additional weekly limit of 10,000 €, which quickly increases as you process more SEPA direct debit payments. If you need higher limits, please [contact Stripe support](https://support.stripe.com/contact).

## Add a bank account

Once bank debit payments are enabled, bank accounts can be added to pay invoices directly. Funds will be withdrawn automatically for future invoice payments.

### As a customer

To set up bank debits from a bank account, an [individual member](/customer-management/members) or a [company manager](/customer-management/company-members-and-managers) has two options:

#### Pay an invoice using a bank debit

When a customer pays at least one invoice using a bank debit method, it is automatically saved for auto-charging subsequent invoices.

1. Go to **Membership** > **Billing > Invoices**.
2. Open an unpaid invoice > select "New payment method" and press `Pay`.
3. Choose the desired bank debit option > enter bank account details.
4. Go to the **Billing** page > see the bank account saved > click (...) next to it > `Set as default`.

<Info>
  If the customer pays the \_first\_​ invoice with their bank account, it will be saved as a default payment method automatically.
