Reduce operational costs

By reducing your capital expenditure and operational overheads, PTX offers a cost effective alternative to installed software, for bureau of all sizes, complexities and environments.

Offering flexibility and accessibility

PTX gives you the ability to view, process and approve both the bureau and customer payments from anywhere at any time and from multiple devices; offering greater visibility and control over your payments and cash flow.

Minimise risk and sustained security

Ensure your payments and collections get to the right place at the right time in the most secure and cost-effective way, with PTX security features such as multi-user permissions and limits, specified levels of authorisation and workflow control and PKI file encryption.

Improve operational efficiency

Through our APIs and sophisticated file mapping, PTX easily integrates with all mainstream accounting; payroll and ERP systems, helping bureau to fully automate the process of making and receiving payments on behalf of others.

Focused on supporting bureau, PTX encompasses scheduling to facilitate automation, workflow to manage user interaction at an appropriate time, notifications to progress payments through the workflow and user segregation to preserve client confidentiality and security.

Submit files to Bacs

Reformat, validate, and combine external or internal customer data from multiple formats into a single bureau file removing the need for bespoke development in your systems, or expecting your customers to customise their output to match a required format.

Reformat and validate pre-built multi-user bureau files for Submission to Bacs over Bacstel-IP or to the DCA service over Secure-IP for Faster Payments.

Bacs and DCA Report Collection

In a single sweep, bureau can download Bacs or Direct Corporate Access (for Faster Payments) input, failure, or amendment reports in all available formats on behalf of all of your customers, saving time, effort and delivering more visibility and control. Furthermore it helps to keep your customers aware of submission failures, changes required to sort code and account number data at source, ensuring they remain compliant with Bacs Direct Credit or Direct Debit scheme rules.

Disaster Recovery for Bureau

Offering robust failover capabilities, PTX serves as the perfect DR solution and can sit aside an installed instance of your Bureau software. By adding your customer Service User Numbers to our Bureau number or by setting up a Bureau application on PTX using your own Bureau Number, we can simply submit your customer data if you can’t. If you and your customers are sponsored by a bank that offers and supports Faster Payments Direct Corporate Access, PTX can also offer a same day payment alternative to Bacs.
