Automate for efficiency, compliance and savings

So far this year, paygate customers have used automated processes to complete 24m Bacs transactions to pay and collect over £6b worth of payments.

 

Streamlining your procedures with automation makes payment processing faster, more secure and more efficient.  

 

You can automate as much or as little of the Bacs process as you wish.

Full ‘lights out’ automatic processing

paygate’s platform coupled with their technical expertise has enabled us to make great strides in streamlining and automating our own specific payment procedures. Previously, all of our bureau submissions were completed manually; at 6,000 files a year, that’s a significant ongoing time and cost saving from going lights-out

Automating the full process from file import, bank data validation, signing, approval and submission can all be safely handled by an automatic process.   

 

How many hours could that save your team to focus on other work?
