French term or phrase: domiciliation bancaire
This refers to a payment method for attendance at a trade fair (together with bank transfer (virement), cheque, credit card).
Is this "banker's order" or "direct debit", or something else?

virement bancaire is bank transfer..the domiciliation is the bank information to make that transfer possible: name of bank, routing number (in Europe, IBAN number, in the US, ABA number), and probably the bank\'s SWIFT code...

I checked again with the client and yes, it was a mistake, it was not a payment method but the bank details. It does seem to be used to mean "direct debit" in Belgium, but not in France. Thanks to Jane and everyone else for your help.

agree  Dr Sue Levy (X): this is what it means in Luxembourg - the bank pays regular bills on standing order without the client's intervention each time. But strange to use it for one-off payment.

agree  Charlie Bavington: yep, think the "payment method" stuff is red herring. You would need to know this in order to set up a payment, but it's not a payment method in and of itself. It just basically means "what bank are you with?", in the vernacular :-)

neutral  cmwilliams (X): could be a method of payment, as in Belgium for example, which seems to be similar to direct debit. europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/ payments/directdebit/index_fr.htm www.belgian-telecom.be/SiteV2/FR/faq.asp

direct debit


Explanation:
