Government
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.
Our approach to lobbying is core to our corporate strategy due
to our proximity to Government. We employ a professional Government
Lobbying agency full-time as part of this critical focus.
VocaLink have made no donations to political organisations or
independent election candidates or incurred political expenditure
anywhere in the world.
