How to approve a DebiCheck on Bank Zero
Bank Zero does not publish step-by-step DebiCheck instructions, and the Bank Zero pages we checked do not mention DebiCheck. Bank Zero says it has no call centre. Below is general guidance that is true for every bank.
General guidance: in your banking app
- Open your banking app and log in.
- Check your notifications or messages for a DebiCheck request.
- Check the business name, the amount and the date.
- Approve it only if the details match what you agreed with the business.
This is general guidance that is true for every bank. Bank Zero does not publish its own steps.
General guidance: by SMS or phone menu
- Your bank may send the request by SMS, or as a phone menu (USSD) that pops up on your screen.
- Follow the instructions in that message.
- Check the business name, the amount and the date before you approve.
This is general guidance that is true for every bank.

A real DebiCheck request comes from your own bank, inside its app, SMS, phone menu or ATM. It shows the business name, the amount and the collection day. Your bank will never send you a link to approve it or ask for your PIN, password or OTP.
Ask a question below, or call your bank on the number on the back of your card.
Who asked you to approve?
Type the name of the shop, lender or insurer. We will write a message asking them to send the request again.
Send it the way you usually talk to them: SMS, email, or the number on your agreement.
Questions people ask

Is this page from Bank Zero?
No. Planar is not a bank and did not send your DebiCheck request. This page explains what Bank Zero publishes about DebiCheck. Planar never asks for your PIN, password, OTP or card number.
