Faster Payments Managed Service

Managing direct connectivity to the UK Faster Payments Service

In today's ever demanding world it's no surprise that customers are increasingly choosing to do business with those companies that can serve their needs 24 hours a day 7 days a week and 365 days a year - none more so than those that offer the convenience and flexibility that allows their customers to conduct banking transactions when it suits them.

Now with our New Faster Payments Managed Service you can satisfy this need without a substantial investment in systems or software enabling you to benefit from:

  • Easy access to a strategic platform for profitable growth
  • Instant and ongoing compliance with the Faster Payments Scheme requirements
  • Flexibility to build your own customer propositions
  • Choice to include those features that you or your customers value the most
  • Freedom to retain existing systems and connectivity

The Faster Payments Managed Service is an outsourced offering from VocaLink that provides and manages direct connectivity to the UK Faster Payments Service whilst providing the following features to support your payment processing needs:

Single Payment Gateway

The Single Payment Gateway enables you or your customers to send or receive single payment instructions in near real-time.  It manages the validation, translation and routing of these payment instructions between your host system and the Faster Payment's Central Infrastructure.

Stand-In

It is a FPS Scheme directive that any organisation that connects directly to the UK Faster Payments Service is required to be able to receive payments 24x7 - potentially a significant investment in the resilience of your host system but not with our Stand-In feature.

Our Stand-In feature can be used to step in and act on your behalf if ever your host system is not available to receive payments.

File submission

If you have a need to send a batch of payments to the UK Faster Payments Service then our File Submission feature supports this.  The feature manages the validation, translation and routing of your payment instructions in to the UK Faster Payments Service.
