# Mandates

Mandates allow Legal Entities to initiate a transfer of funds from somebody else's account, to theirs.

The transfer is made using SEPA Direct Debit (SDDE) and can be used to receive one-time or recurring payments.

Information – SEPA Creditor Identifier mandatory in France

In France, only companies holding a SEPA creditor identifier (SCI) are allowed to use Mandates and SDDE. A physical person cannot be allowed to actively retrieve funds from somebody else's account.

Warning icon

Important – Mandates should be kept as proofs in case of litigations

As litigations rules of the SEPA Network are generaly in favor of the debtor, it is strongly recommended that Mandates be kept indefinitely to be used as proof if needs be.
