Payable Orders Services

Provision of secure paper-based Payable Orders to Government Banking's 600+ Public Sector customers. Government Banking (GB) provides shared services to around 600+ Customers in Central Government and the wider public sector. Any organisation that uses the shared services provided by GB may require the use of the secure paper-based payment instrument known as the Payable Order. The Payable Order serves the same function as a cheque drawn on a commercial bank and is recognised by various Cheque Acts. It is therefore a valuable document that requires secure production and delivery. The design and layout of the Payable Order must conform to The UK Payments Administration Ltd.'s standards, a subsidiary company within Pay.UK who operate the UK's national retail payment systems (formerly known as APACS).
