Direct Debt

[Aleste]

I've been a Northern Bank customer for easily a good 13-15 years. Never changed bank, never changed my account, only get the re-issued card in the mail once every 1 (2? is it) years when the previous one expires. I have a Visa debit, which is used to pay for my account, and a Visa credit (normally for paying bills that can't wait till pay-day).

I live in Northern Ireland, and use the EU version of the Playonline Viewer. However, I definately recall about 2 years ago having to manually extend my contracts, but I can't honestly remember the (exact) last time I've had to do it. All my contracts are automatically extended, and I get this when I log in.

(Last but not least, no sign of 'contract extension' in the services and support menu in the EU version of POL)

I've used my Debit card to pay for a friends account (he's NA) and I had to download and install the NA version of POL to change the details on it; he's still playing, and my bank account is getting charged for it, so I can easily assume that his contracts are automatically being extended.

tl;dr - I'm an EU customer using a debit card, and mine extends perfectly fine without any interaction.

Edit:: It shows up on my bill like this~
