Direct debit is said to be the most risk-free payment solution in the UK. So, direct debit is allowed by almost all of the banks in the UK. But unlike the UK, there is still no word about direct debit. And no information about when it will be set up in the USA.

Direct debits help people take their minds off the bills and other subscriptions that have weekly or monthly payments. And once they are set up the bills you pay will be on time and never be delayed.

But, Alas! Barclays is yet to introduce its widely popular direct debit into the American turf.
