Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I get up and running?

The speed and agility of AccessPay means the entire project cycle is quick and painless. We combine cloud technology with a personal approach and a ‘can-do’ attitude that often enables our clients to go live within a short time frame.

Do I need a SUN to sign up to your Direct Debit collection services?

Yes. In order to begin collecting Direct Debits through Bacs you will need to approach your sponsoring bank about acquiring a Service User Number (SUN).

Your SUN is a unique identifier for your organisation. Bacs (the clearing service for Direct Debits), need it to create a record of each Direct Debit transaction.

For steps on how to apply for a SUN download our useful guide: Bacs Service User Number (SUN) Guide.

Typically your business will be unable to obtain a SUN from a sponsoring bank if you:

Have been trading less than 3 years
Have a turnover of less than £1 million
Do not have an established relationship with your bank

However there are exceptions to this rule and if you are unsure where your business falls in this criteria, then please contact us.

How much does the service cost?

We don’t provide an out of the box solution, as we customise the platform to meet your specific business needs and ensure compatibility with your back-office systems.

Pricing factors we consider include the volume & value of transactions, technical requirements and administrative demand.

Who can take advantage of this service?

It’s suited for business-to-business and business-to-customer collections of either fixed or varying recurring amounts.
