Why Use a Bacs Bureau?

Organisations can choose to purchase and manage their own in-house software to enable them to submit their files directly to Bacs. Alternatively, they may decide to work with a Bacs Approved Bureau who will submit the Direct Debit Instructions and Collections and/or the Direct Credit files on their behalf. The best option will depend on various factors, including:

  1. Size of the organisation

  2. Administrative resource available

  3. Number of transactions processed

  1. Frequency of transactions processed

  2. In-house knowledge and skills

  3. Fulfiling the criteria to be a direct submitter
