All Sterling University Suppliers are paid via BACS (Bankers Automated Clearing System). This is an electronic payment system whereby money can be paid directly into a supplier's UK bank account on a specified day, without the need to wait for funds to clear.
A remittance advice, with a redacted bank account number, is emailed listing all the invoices the payment relates to. Contact telephone numbers are provided against each invoice paid which will enable the supplier to contact the relevant department directly with any queries.
We no longer make payments by cheque
Currently, there are a few instances where suppliers are being paid by direct debit. However, these are exceptional cases and this method of payment is not encouraged as it is increasingly difficult to control.
If there is an exceptional need, contact the Head of Accounting Services [1], Finance Division.
