Form to Request Payment of Staff Expenses Via Bankers Automated Credit System (BACS)

Payment Of Staff Expenses – Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS) Details

The Finance Department has been offering a service to pay expenses by BACS rather than by cheque for the last few years and we would encourage you to make use of this facility. This system allows us to make payments direct to your bank account. The payment should reach your bank account earlier than if we send you a cheque which must then be banked by you.

If you wish to have your expenses paid by BACS, please complete the bank details section on the attached form and return to the address shown on the form, marking the envelope “Private and Confidential”.

If you would like your expenses payments to be paid directly to the same bank account as your salary, please tick the appropriate box on the form. This will enable us to check your bank details against the payroll database and means that any changes to your salary bank account will automatically update your expenses record.Please notify the SALARIES SECTION of the Finance Department of any changes to this bank account and not the Accounts Payable Section of the Finance Department.

Should you agree to being paid by BACS, but prefer to use a different bank account to your salary account, please ensure that you notify the Accounts PayableSection using the appropriate form (also available from our website).

You will still receive a remittance advice confirming that the payment has been made, giving you details of the payment date and bank details used.

Please ensure that you provide your Personnel Number and sign the form. We need these to process the information on the form.
