The SEPA mandate: what it is for, and when to sign it

Updated on 2 septembre 2026 · 1 min read

The SEPA mandate is the authorisation you give for direct debits to be taken from your bank account. You sign it electronically, once.

Payment methods page: status of the SEPA mandate

What it is for

  • topping up your wallet by direct debit, without a manual transfer or a card;
  • for a professional, paying a yearly subscription by direct debit.

One active mandate per account, and it serves both. If you signed it for your wallet, you will not be asked to sign again for a subscription — and the other way round.

The possible states

  • Awaiting signature: the mandate exists, but allows no debit yet.
  • Signed: active, debits are possible.
  • Expired or revoked: inactive. A new one has to be signed.

Signing

You sign on the platform, as you would a quote: you read the mandate in full, you tick your consent, you sign. The signed document is sealed and kept.

Revoking a mandate

You can revoke your mandate at any time. Debits already under way run their course; no new debit will be started.
