If there's something specific you need, just ask - either we have it or we can most likely get it!

payment options

BIT.net provides a number of payment options all of which have certain conditions and parameters that are specified here. If you have any further questions about our accepted methods of payment please contact us.

automatic direct debit (credit card and bank account)

This method of payment is the easiest way to settle your account. You provide to us a signed authorisation form stating that we can directly debit either a bank account or credit card each month on the due date for the invoice in question (generally 7 days after issue). BIT.net is very careful with your payment details and will not divulge them to any third party. See our privacy policy for more information.

This is our preferred payment method as it is the most reliable and requires little to no manual reconcilliation.
