You can cancel the plan at any time, and if you dispute any payment your bank will credit you with the disputed amount immediately, then investigate the matter.
We do anything that can be done by direct debit that way, and have never had an incorrect withdrawal.

Ditto here. Also almost everyone uses a debit card when shopping, and hacking or stealing card info is exceedingly rare. Many people even don't have credit cards here. Mostly those who travel often or shop internationally.
