Payment methods
BACS
BACS (Bank Automated Clearing System) payments are made directly into your bank account. They provide immediately cleared funds and you also receive a remittance advice.
If you are paid by BACS the proposed payment date is the date you will receive a payment in your bank account.
For some smaller banks the BACS credit may appear a day later.
Cheque
The proposed payment date is the date the last of the cheque/remittance advices are despatched.
If you are still being paid by cheque we recommend you change to BACS. This is a more efficient payment method.
Remittance advice
Remittance advice is despatched using DX or first class post.
Payment queries
To find out how much you are owed please contact your regional office. Details are available one day before the proposed payment date.
Contact your regional office with queries about your remittance advice.
