Operations Director, Logicor EnergyAt Access PaySuite, we know the payments industry can be full of technical terminology and acronyms, so one of our aims is to help customers decode some of that jargon.
A payment service provider is a third-party company that allows merchants to accept credit and debit card payments, Direct Debit payments, bank transfers, and more.
Payments service providers (PSP) or merchant services providers, connect payments between businesses and customers, ensuring transactions are made safely and securely from start to finish.
They also provide merchant accounts, which is an account that receives the processed payments from debit and credit card purchases, and a payment gateway, which enables businesses to take payments online.
They work with payment processors or acquiring banks, to ensure money is transferred from your customer’s account to your own, safely and securely.
Probably the easiest way to explain the process is to demonstrate how a transaction works and where a payment service provider comes in.
Businesses use payment processors to accept card payments. They usually sit between the bank and the merchant and look after the transfer of card information from the payment networks, for example, Visa and Mastercard, to your bank and the customer’s bank.
In essence, you need a payment processor if you want to accept debit or credit card payments. Payment processors charge different fees, so it’s important you choose a company that works for your business.
There are several different factors or systems involved in online payment processing. Our simple explanation will help illustrate how it works;
B2b payments are payments made between businesses, such as invoices. Whilst the pandemic has accelerated the digitization of payments within the business-to-consumer (b2c), b2b payment systems are still filled with inefficiencies, manual reconciliations, or legacy systems with limited capabilities.
Currently, in the UK, over half of all b2b payments are still made by bank transfer which is not always suitable for a lower value, frequent payments-especially if you’re looking to scale your business quickly.

A Bacs payment is direct payments are made between banks specifically in the UK. Bacs is owned and operated by Pay.UK and is the cheapest way to make business payments. It’s easy to set up, and because it’s supported by all payroll software, it is the most common business payment method for paying employees.
There are two main Bacs payments, Direct Debit and Direct Credit. Direct Debit is where money is taken from your bank account, such as council tax, utility bills, mobile phone bills etc.
Bacs Direct Credit is the opposite and where funds are deposited into your bank account. Examples could be salary payments, pensions, refunds and more.
Bacs payments aren’t instant, it takes 3 business days for a Bacs payment to clear, but they’re still the main bank payment method used by businesses.
The process starts from when a payment is initiated, so when the payment file is submitted to the Bacs system, provided it’s before a specific time. The payment is processed by the bank on the second day and on the third day, the recipient will receive it in their account.
Because Bacs payments are only processed on business days, it might take longer than 3 days to clear if there’s a bank holiday, or if you submit the payment on a Friday, or outside regular hours.
