Star120 Launches New Debit Order Engine
The Star120 Debit System
The Star120 debit system is cutting-edge technology, specialised for the South African market. Our debit system provides an easy to use, online debit interface that you can access from anywhere, at any time. Our focus on continuous development and international standards of service makes the Star120 debit system a leader in its field.
Cutting Edge Technology
The Star120 team believes in constant development and refinement of the debit system. We prioritise your needs by focusing on ease of use with high product quality and service standards while advancing our debit system’s technology in line with global technological development.
A South African Solution
The Star120 debit system is a world class debiting system that has been created specifically for our South African market.

How Does the Debit System Work?
We manage all of your debit runs based on the client names and bank details that you specify. Because all of your costs are calculated per transaction, you’re only ever billed for what you actually use. Our easy to use online interface allows you to securely access your account from anywhere at any time, giving you complete control with no hassle.
Monitor your debits at any time
The Star120 debit system is web-based and totally secure, so you can safely log in and monitor your debit runs 24 hours a day, from any computer with an internet connection.
Scheduled Monthly Debts
You can debit your long term or contract clients on any specified day, every month, week or set time period.
Once Off Debits
Debit your clients for once-off payments such as start-up fees, penalty fees or promotional packages.
Manage Campaigns
Manage groups of your clients according to their specific product packages, debit amounts and promotional fee structures.
Multiple Product Management
Your clients may all have different fee structures or different contracts. Manage all clients in separate groups from the same easy- to-use, secure interface.
Multiple Users & Levels of Access
More than one person can access the system at any time and, depending on the sensitivity of your client information, you can allow or prevent certain members of your staff from accessing or changing client details.
One User, Multiple Products & Campaigns
One user can register and then access multiple companies, and all of those companies will be billed separately according their own individual debit runs. You don’t need to create separate users for each company that you register with us.
Protect Your Client ID Data
This allows us to provide you with reports in your own format, with your own client IDs, reducing the burden of administrative work and increasing efficiency.
Excel & CSV Compatible
You can easily import your transactions lists and customer lists directly from Excel or any CSV editor.
Flexible Debit Run Size
You can debit just one client or millions of clients at a time. The Star120 debit system is completely flexible.
Only Pay for What You Use
There are no flat fees for any of Star120′s services. You will only ever be billed per debit transaction.
