In plain language

A single larger debit taken once a week rather than every day.

It reduces the number of withdrawals and makes cash planning simpler for some businesses, but the weekly dip is larger.

Why it matters

A weekly cycle aligns with weekly payroll, which some owners prefer.

An example

$62,500 repaid over 25 weeks is $2,500 a week.

What to watch for

In practice for Canadian businesses

Often chosen by service businesses with weekly billing cycles.

Questions to ask

In a file review

A weekly debit is read against the weekly deposit rhythm. If your largest deposits land mid-week and the debit is pulled on Monday, the balance may look thin on that day even in a healthy week. Asking for the debit to fall after your main deposit days is a reasonable request.

A common misreading

People assume a weekly debit is cheaper than daily. The total payback is the same; only the timing and the size of each pull change.
