New partner
SmartDebit have announced their partnership with provider of secure paper and electronic payment solutions, The TALL Group of Companies.
This announcement comes at a time when Direct Debits are becoming a more prominent feature in the average bank account in the UK. Bacs, the governing body behind Direct Debit, processed over 3.4 billion Direct Debits during 2012, with 75% of adults having at least one Direct Debit set up.
The SmartDebit service complements The TALL Group’s existing Bacs payment submission service with the use of an online Direct Debit administration portal, SmartDebit Admin®. The cloud-based service allows service users to set up new payers, amend details and view reports on their Direct Debit collections. The Direct Debit process is fully automated; managing the payment submissions, sending the mandatory notices to payers and providing the Bacs reports after the collection date.
Paul Simpson, Sales Director at SmartDebit, commented, “We are delighted to enter a partnership with such an experienced and well respected business within the payments industry. Our Direct Debit management service provides our clients with the complete administrative package, allowing them to benefit from reduced processes, increased security and ease of use.”
