Direct debit agreement
       When subscribing to the platform, users agree to a direct debit framework whereby they
    authorize the payee (the platform) to collect the amount due directly from the payers account.


       Settlement
      At settlement time, the platform debits the net debitors bank accounts and makes money
                                     transfers to the net creditors

Weaknesses
1. Risk of counterparty illiquidity/insolvability
     But, hey: - Theyre small amounts
                - Theyre friends/trusted people

2. Business model easily reproducible
     But, hey, which business model is not?

3. What if off-line pre-DTNS* settlement?
     Its just like any other loan just dont forget to notify
      it on the platform

4. Wont I look like a skinflint?
* Designated-Time Net Settlement
