Innovation and the UK Public Sector

Vocalink is the main provider of payment services to the UK public sector. We handle 98% of state benefits and 95% of all salaries. Our position at the heart of the UK payments system gives us scope to deliver value-added services and implement far-reaching reforms.

We've demonstrated that we can manage change seamlessly. We migrated Bacs to an entirely new platform without a hitch. And we've shown we can innovate successfully. Our real-time infrastructure for the Faster Payments service is redefining the payments industry.

The UK coalition government has pledged to make savings and modernise government.

VocaLink is a trusted partner for transformation programmes. We are working closely with government agencies to advise and shape solutions for 21st century government.

We are sharing our expertise in numerous areas:

  • Accurate earnings information
  • High volume transaction systems
  • Large scale database systems
  • Payment processing rules
  • Fraud and error detection
  • Tax, Benefit and Pension Reform
  • Data security solutions.

Our services reflect our payments know-how, and experience in working with the public sector. Our projects have helped many government departments dramatically cut public spending and improve efficiency.
