HOW DOES ACCESSPAY WORK?








1. UPLOAD YOUR PAYMENT RUN

Automatically import BACS payment files from connected finance applications via
SFTP or API connection. Files can also be imported manually as a contingency.


2. ROUTING AND FILE TRANSFORMATION

AccessPay instantly scans the payment file to recognize the purpose and
configuration of your payment run to ensure the file is correctly formatted and
passes through the correct submission workflows within AccessPay.


3. VALIDATE YOUR TRANSACTIONS

A modulus check is performed to alert you to errors with the sort codes and
account numbers contained within your file. Giving you the opportunity to
suppress problem transactions or files before you proceed with your submission.


4. PERFORM FRAUD & ERROR CHECKS

A series of configurable rules can be applied to scan your BACS submissions for
potentially erroneous transactions. Helping you identify and investigate
potential duplicates, unrecognized creditors and exceeded transaction
thresholds.


5. APPROVE YOUR SUBMISSION

AccessPay is configured to mirror your internal approval processes. Whether you
carry out approvals within your finance application or AccessPay, dual approval
is available.


6. AUTHENTICATE YOUR PAYMENT FILE

The file is digitally signed via a choice of Hardware Security Module (HSM) or
Smart Card.


7. PROCESS YOUR SUBMISSION

The file is ready to be submitted and will be processed via BACS on the date
assigned.


8. RECEIVE BACS REPORTS

Automatically retrieve BACS reports in to your back-office. See our FAQs for
more information.

FAQS


WHAT PREREQUISITES ARE NEEDED FOR WORKING WITH ACCESSPAY?

To submit BACS payments through AccessPay, you must have sponsorship from your
bank in the form of a Service User Number (SUN). You can find more information
on Service User Numbers here.


HOW DOES THE ACCESSPAY PRICING MODEL WORK?

At AccessPay, we’ll never charge per transaction. Instead, we offer a fixed
annual subscription model, which means you’re not penalized for exceeding
predicted transaction volumes during your contract with us.

Pricing is calculated based on 3 factors and is only ever reviewed upon contract
renewal:

 * Estimated transaction bandings

A one-time implementation fee of 20% will be applied when you first sign up with

you sign up with us.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SMART CARD AND A HARDWARE SECURITY MODULE
(HSM)?

Using Smart Cards requires access to a physical device, called a smart card
reader and requires access to third party software (Gemalto) to sign your
submission.

A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a digital form of authentication which does
not require access to hardware. HSMs can be configured as either:

 1. Attended – requires authentication by an approved user
 2. Unattended – authentication is fully automated to enable straight through
    processing of BACS submissions.


IS ACCESSPAY SECURE?

Yes, we’re a BACS-approved, FCA-registered vendor and we carry out regular
security testing with 3rd party vendors, including:

 * Regular penetration tests
 * Cyber Essentials Plus certification
 * Compliance with information security and business continuity ISO standards
