Secure Electronic Banking and BACS

BACS is a secure, controlled and efficient medium for making payments and collecting funds. The BACS service will make any Sterling to Sterling transfer for payment or collection over a minimum 3 day cycle. This gives organisations the ability to increase security, save cost, reduce workloads and makes bank reconciliation a simple one tick process.

We offer various products for clients wishing to make, or collect, payments by BACS. Selecting the best product depends on various factors including volume of transactions and the type of transaction, ie. Payments, Receipts or both. We would be pleased to help you to assess your requirements and recommend the most appropriate package.

Fully approved by Bacs, this is the leading Bacstel-IP and direct debit collection solution. With seamless and easy integration with back office systems, WinBacs is a payments management suite that frees up your time, reduces your risk and exposure to fraud, and rapidly optimises your purchase to pay and order to cash cycles.

WinBacs interfaces directly with your accounts system to allow your organisation to make payments and collections electronically via Bacs. It takes the appropriate files and automatically templates payment or collection information into the format required. It then authorises the transaction through secure, password-controlled screens and then efficiently and securely handles all Bacs transmission requirements, including the receipt of online acceptance advices. Finally, the system processes your payments and collections within the usual three-day cycle.
