No one in business likes to waste time and money. That's why more and more companies are switching to Direct Debit as the fastest, safest and most convenient way to be paid by consumers, customers and members.

Many UK businesses are missing out on extensive cost savings which could be achieved simply by switching their method of payment from cash and cheques, to the electronic alternative provided by BACS.

As you may have heard there is the intention to have cheques phased out by 2018 as long as suitable alternatives have been put in place so this would be a good time to start thinking ahead.
