What Our Customers Say

I would also thank you and your team for the smooth transition to the Bottomline Direct Debit collection service. Bottomline has enabled an improved process for setting up new instructions and amending existing direct debit payment programmes.

I am happy with the overall service I received, from the onboarding process to the continuous customer care from the Client Service team. Our collection process is fully automated, we are pleased with the end-to-end managed service. I would recommend the service—it is excellent.

NSL has been working with Bottomline for the last year. The transition to them was smooth, the upload of payments to be collected is straightforward, and collections and payments have been on time, every time. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bottomline to manage DD collections.

Bottomline honoured every promise and timescale that they made, and this was instrumental in our successfully completing the acquisition on time. Furthermore, their attention to detail and the ease with which they could be contacted during the process both reassured us and ensured that there were no mistakes. We would recommend Bottomline to any business looking for a Direct Debit collection solution.
