Bacs Bureau Inspection successfully passed
In February, we welcomed a Bacs Inspector to our Kent Payment Hub office to carry out our Bacs Bureau Inspection.
As a Bacs Approved Bureau for over 23 years, audits, compliance and inspections are part of the key events in our business calendar, and we are delighted to report we passed with flying colours once again.
“Elovate is now a Tier A Bacs Approved Bureau – trusted and recognised as the leading charity Direct Debit provider. Our flexibility when it comes to payments, integrations and supporter communications has seen us continue to grow and support our clients.”
Scott Gray, Marketing & Services Director
Achieving Bacs Bureau status gives our clients and other stakeholders the reassurance that we have robust security controls and procedures in place to mitigate any potential risk to the organisation. This, alongside our ISO 27001, is a key accreditation that confirms our ability to be able to manage and process Direct Debits on behalf of our clients.
“It’s with great pride that I report us passing our Bacs Bureau Inspection again. Having been involved right from the beginning, I’m all too aware that the constant change in requirements in all areas of compliance is a key issue for us and all our clients”
Mat Harris, Technical Director
What is a Bacs Bureau audit?
This is an inspection conducted by Bacs, part of pay.uk, to check that the operating and processes of Direct Debit and/or Direct Credit transactions processed by the Bureau are in accordance with its clients’ instructions and meet the Bacs Scheme rules.
To process Bacs submissions for a third-party, an organisation must be a Bacs Approved Bureau. A list of all Bacs Approved Bureaux can be found here.
