How do I set up a SEPA direct debit mandate with smarta?

Updated this week

A SEPA direct debit mandate lets you pay your invoices easily and automatically.
In this article, we’ll walk you through how to set it up and what to keep in mind.

Step-by-step: How to set up your SEPA mandate

  1. Open the online form at the following link:

  2. Enter your account details
    You can use any business account – it doesn’t have to be a Kontist account.

  3. Confirm the mandate with one click
    After submitting, you’ll receive a confirmation email.

That’s it! From now on, we’ll automatically collect invoice amounts from your chosen account using our payment provider.


You’ll always be informed by email before each debit.

Good to know

  • The mandate applies to all invoices with smarta – both your monthly subscription and any one-time services.

  • A combination of SEPA direct debit and manual transfer is not possible.
