At least with my bank, and I think most banks here in Sweden, I need to approve people before they can make direct debits.

How do you approve a payee with your bank? At the time you grant them permission to debit your account, or at the time of the first payment?

There is no technical channel for the former within the SEPA Direct Debit framework (i.e. the first time the payer's bank learns about a mandate is with the first direct debit), so I'm wondering if this is a different/domestic direct debit scheme.
