This payment option can be used for various payment scenarios including one-time and recurring payments.

    The Auto-debit option is available through select Alipay+ merchants only.

    On the merchant site, select the Auto-debit => BillEase option in the payment method settings, then you will be redirected to BillEase to authorize the account linking.

    • For an existing customer, just e-sign the Auto-debit agreement and set your repayment preferences for upcoming purchases that you will pay using the Auto-debit facility.
    • For a new customer, complete the online registration process which will only take less than 5 minutes. Once registration is approved, you can continue the account linking.

    Go to your BillEase account settings and click Auto-debit to view all your authorized Auto-debit arrangements with merchants. You can choose to unlink your account with the merchant or update your preferred payment settings for upcoming transactions.

    The Auto-debit facility strictly requires authorization from you before we can link your account with the merchant.

    If you see a loan on your BillEase account that you don't recognize, go to your BillEase account settings > Auto-debit and update the merchant setting.

    If you no longer intend to authorize a merchant for future transactions, click on Unlink in the details page.

    If you don't want to accept a charged transaction, contact the merchant and request for a refund.
