The request by which an account holder in Romania stops a direct debit or a standing order: the payee, the mandate reference and the date the cancellation takes effect. Under Law no. 209/2019 a direct debit can be revoked until the end of the business day before the debit. The contract with the supplier, though, stays in force and is ended separately.

Common questions
- Until when can a direct debit in Romania be revoked?
- Until the end of the business day before the agreed debit day at the latest (Law no. 209/2019). After that the payment goes through, and the revocation takes effect for the ones that follow.
- Does the supplier that was collecting the debit need to be told too?
- It is advisable. Revoking at the bank stops the payments, but the contract with the supplier — phone, utilities, a subscription — stays; the supplier has to be told separately, or it may keep issuing bills, just without collecting them automatically.
- Can money already taken by direct debit be recovered?
- For authorised direct debits, the payer can ask for a refund within 8 weeks of the debit, on the terms of Law no. 209/2019; for an unauthorised one, the period is 13 months. A refund does not, however, cancel any debt still owed to the supplier.
