Bacs overview

Bacs is the UK payment scheme behind Direct Credits and Direct Debits. Griffin supports Bacs payments so your customers can pay their bills or receive credits. To send money, use Faster Payments.

Credit payment recovery

Credit Payment Recovery (CPR) is an industry procedure to bring consistency in the recovery method for Faster Payments (FPS) and settled Bacs payments (the Bacs recall pre-settlement process remains unchanged).

Direct Debit collections

This guide will walk you through what happens when an organisation collects a Direct Debit from one of your accounts, and what you see over the API at each step. Payment processing is a multi-step process which requires interacting with several resource types. Learn about payments, transactions, submissions and admissions here

Direct Debit mandates

This guide will walk you through working with Direct Debit mandates on your accounts: listing them, fetching one, cancelling one, and handling the cases where an expected mandate never appears. For the concepts behind mandates and the parties involved, see Direct Debits on Griffin accounts.

Direct Debits on Griffin accounts

A Direct Debit lets an organisation collect money from a bank account with the account holder's ongoing authority, the standard UK mechanism for bills, subscriptions, and repayments. On Griffin, Direct Debits work in one direction: organisations your customers have authorised can collect from Griffin accounts. You cannot use Griffin to collect Direct Debits from accounts at other banks; see the Bacs overview for what is and isn't supported.
