Target Group, known for its commitment to operational excellence, is thrilled to announce it’s been awarded a new contract with the DVLA to provide Direct Debit services, extending their partnership until 2026. 

This collaboration, which has spanned over a decade, demonstrates Target Group's continued dedication to providing seamless payment facilities.

Since 2014, Target Group has been key in facilitating over 136 million direct debit mandates for more than 41 million customers, ensuring hassle-free payment of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). This achievement has not gone unnoticed, as our collaboration with DVLA has been recognised as a standout case study in the 2023 ISG Case Study Research.

Peter O’Connor, CEO of Target Group, expressed his enthusiasm, stating:

“Our mission has always been to make payment processes as convenient as possible for DVLA customers. We're proud to have played a pivotal role in making direct debit the preferred payment method for a third of UK drivers.”
