I am but does this matter? If your software is producing a  SHA1 e-signature instead of the newer SHA2, your payment signature will fail when Banks stop accepting SHA1 signatures.

What will happen as a result? This will cause disruption and delay to your payment schedule. Even if you hold a SHA2 certificate, it could still be producing an out of date SHA1 e-signature.

How do I find out what software version I am using? Contact your Bacs Relationship Manager and they will be able to assist.

What action should I take? To update your software, your first port of call is your bank. Here is a list of banks which you may find useful.
