There are two general payment options available to suppliers of the council.
- Payment by cheque
- Payment by BACS (Bank automated clearing service)
The preferred option for the council is payment by BACS.
What are the benefits to you from BACS payments?
Cleared funds on arrival - BACS payment means that you don't have to wait for cheques to clear in your bank account. All amounts paid in by BACS are immediately available for use.
Safer and more secure – unlike cheques BACS payments cannot be lost, stolen or delayed in the post. Your money arrives automatically into your bank or building society account. We will send you a remittance advice telling you what the payment is for.
Easier and saves time and effort – if you are busy, unwell or away on holiday you can relax knowing that your money is paid straight into your account. You no longer have to wait in queues or send cheques to your bank or building society.
How to be paid by BACS
Changing to a BACS payment method is simple. We need a few details to confirm that you are authorised to make the application, in addition to your bank details, so that we can arrange for payments by BACS.
A form has been provided for your use, which can be found at the bottom of this page however we can accept bank details by other means such as –
· Notification by e-mail.
· Bank details quoted on a suppliers invoice
· Notification in writing on company headed paper
We also need to know how you wish to receive your remittance advice. The options are either email, fax or post. Please let us know your choice when you apply for payment by BACS.
