Direct debit has been a convenient method of regular giving for some years now. 
It could soon get even easier, according to telemarketing company Pell & Bales. “
Paperless direct debit should deliver at least a 20% improvement in your results,”
said Karl Holweger, CEO at Pell & Bales. Paperless direct debit is significant because
it means that for the first time telemarketers will be able to set up direct debits
without having to send off a paper form to the donor so that s/he can fill it in
and return it. The ability to set up a “customer-not-present” direct debit also 
has significant potential for charities using the Internet to fundraise.
