After taking a decision to use Bacs for bulk direct debit & credit payments, many companies are faced with an extremely complicated submitter application process and a lot of unexpected additional paperwork, all to be able to send or collect multiple bank payments.
At APT, we understand that setting up the infrastructure for direct debits and credits can be a daunting process, and we try our best to help provide the required information for our potential customers. We guide them all the way – from how to obtain a SUN number to the personalised training on how to use our Bacs software.
We asked our recent new customer, Tiger Recruitment, how easy it was for their team to set up their Bacs operation using APT’s iConnect Hosted SaaS solution.
