Can the Direct Debit bank account be in a different name than my Synergy account?
If you choose to make bill payments using Direct Debit and are an authorised contact (i.e. not the Synergy account holder), you will need to provide Synergy with consent to establish the Direct Debit in the name of the bank account holder and on behalf of the Synergy account holder.
The nominated bank account holder will need to ensure there are enough funds in the account to cover the payments and will also need to read the Direct Debit Service Agreement, these can be found here
