Faster online payments with BACS

BACS automates regular secure payments to save time and money

What does BACS stand for?

Banks Automated Clearing System (BACS) was originally set up by the UK banking industry as a more secure and effective way to process payments of multiple financial transactions.

BACS payment systems are generally used to automate banking payroll systems and replace the traditional paper-based method of billing payments through the collection of cheques or cash.
