Microgen BACS Payments - Flexible, scalable electronic payment
BACS Payments
One of the UK's foremost electronic payment specialists, Microgen enables companies to directly communicate with BACS® and banks, allowing automation of payment processes.
With more than 20 years experience, Microgen works with organisations to improve both the processing of payments to third parties (such as suppliers and staff) and the collection of funds (such as membership fees, policy premiums etc). Providing a comprehensive range of services into the payments market, Microgen has established a strong track record for meeting the needs of organisations, large and small.
Microgen has a comprehensive range of products for Bacstel-IP all approved by BACS for operation with Bacstel-IP:
- Bacway IP Professional: designed for stand-alone usage, this is suitable for small to medium sized organisations that use BACS for simple applications, typically payroll. This software is designed to work with the smartcards and smartcard readers introduced with Bacstel-IP.
- Bacway IP Server, Enterprise Edition: client/server software for multi-seat usage. The software operates through "thin client", i.e. the user accesses the software via a browser, and uses the smartcard and smartcard reader system. This software is designed for medium to large organisations that have multiple BACS users.
- Bacway IP Enterprise Plus: designed for a "lights out" finance operation and therefore for large organisations using BACS software for high volumes of payments. It is especially applicable to direct debit originators. The software makes use of a Hardware Security Module (HSM) meaning that connection to BACS is seamless and submission to BACS can occur without user presence.
