Direct Debit is the payment option of choice for thousands of companies nationwide to collect important payments from customers and organisations. Direct Credit is used to pay eight in ten employees in the UK. This covers wages, salaries, benefits and settling business-to-business invoices.​ It allows employers to send funds directly from their account to those of their employees, with the technical support of a [Bacs Approved Bureau](https://interbacs.com/services/bacs-approved-bureau). ## How do I make Bacs Direct Credit payments? To make a Direct Credit payment, you simply need your payee’s account number and sort code. You submit your payment data to your chosen Bacs Approved Bureau who will then submit these instructions directly to Bacs on your behalf. On your designated payday, salaries are automatically transferred from your payment account to your employee’s accounts as cleared funds. They can then access their money immediately. Bacs Direct Credit can be used to pay the following: - Wages and salaries - Pensions - HMRC PAYE payments ## What are the benefits of a Bacs Approved Bureau?
