Central Government

Local government authorities can purchase our payment services through the latest G-Cloud framework, without the need to go through a full tender process.

This framework is an agreement between the government and suppliers who provide cloud-based services.

G-Cloud services are divided into 3 categories, or ‘lots’:

• cloud hosting, for example content delivery networks or load balancing services
• cloud software, for example accounting tools or customer service management software
• cloud support, for example migration services or ongoing support

Our direct debit solution is the most efficient, cost effective and convenient way to collect regularly occurring payments from a large number of customers.

Reducing the cost and administration of paying out funds, our Prepaid solution streamlines accounting efficiency for organisations and offers card holders bank account lite features, including direct debits and standing orders.

Goods and services can be purchased at the point of sale, online, or over the telephone. All transactions made using the card are recorded and monitored.
