Payment Options

There are two general payment options available to you. These are:

1. Payment by cheque
   
2. Payment by BACS (Bank Automated Clearing Service)       

What are the benefits to you from BACS payments?

• Payments are made directly to your bank account electronically. We will however send you a remittance advice telling you what the payment is for, if requested.
  
• 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.
  
• BACS is safer than a cheque payment as there is no chance that the payment will go astray in the post.
  

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 in the left hand menu. We regret that we cannot accept forms returned electronically at present. This is due to the fact that we need your signature on the form to confirm your request.
