What is BACS?

BACS payments can be used to pay or receive money. BACS payments are subject to a three day processing cycle and are used by many businesses to process planned payments, or regular payments such as payroll.

BACS Direct Credits are used to pay suppliers, payroll and other listed payments. BACS Direct Debits are used to collect money from a payee.

Autopay Online and Autopay Online Plus cater for your BACS payment needs, allowing you to make and manage payments, and access BACS reports, all via the Autopay Online platforms.
