Summary:
1. What is GC RE?
If you have an active subscription with rankingCoach, you may notice “GC RE” on your bank statements. When you sign up with rankingCoach 360, you are offered different payment options, with one of the payment options being direct debit or SEPA. This means that the amount you agreed to pay either for your subscription: monthly, annually or for your Google Ads budget will be collected and processed through our payment provider GoCardless, abbreviated as "GC" in your transaction details with rankingCoach GmbH.
rankingCoach uses GoCardless as an online payment service. This allows our customers to easily pay by Direct Debit. GoCardless is the most secure form of online payment where you are protected by the Kundenschutz beim SEPA-Lastschriftverfahren, and it allows you to have more transparency and control over your bills.
If by any chance something other than rankingCoach is coming after GC RE, then you have been debited by another company and NOT by rankingCoach!
This is why you will see “GC RE rankingCoach” in your bank details when the amount has been debited.
2. Are GC RE charges for all countries?
GoCardless (GC) however, is not applicable to all countries which are supported by rankingCoach! Only countries in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) can be charged or debited automatically by GoCardless. GoCardless however is not available for our customers in the United States, United Kingdom or Ireland! The SEPA region consists of 36 European countries, including several countries which are not part of the euro area or the European Union (ECB 2023).
This is however not applicable for the invoice statements of customers from the United States, United Kingdom or Ireland as for those countries payment collections might happen through other means of payment like credit cards or PayPal.
