Company B issues cheques to many ad-hoc suppliers i.e. stationery suppliers, packaging materials suppliers. They face repeated challenges such as loss of cheques, cheques not being presented and returned cheques due to irregular signatures. The company frequently incurs charges for stopping or replacing the cheques. By using GIRO, these challenges are resolved as operational costs are reduced, and there is no more need to address the status of the cheques.

Company C needs to maintain a minimum amount in their bank account to honour payments. With GIRO, Company C has greater certainty over when the monies will be deducted from their account.
