Electronic Payment Services

Electronic payment services are used in public sector organisations because they provide easy-to-use and convenient payment solutions which can support individuals with their financial transactions and overall management.

The electronic payment services provided through our trusted suppliers on this framework allow housing associations and local authorities with a compliant, pre-tendered route to procure payment collection and fund distribution services. This means tenants in housing, offices and other commercial buildings under public sector organisations can complete and manage important payments securely.

At NHC Procurement, we support public sector organisations to ensure payments made by credit and debit cards, barcodes and online methods, as well as financial management information systems, are secure, whilst meeting legal compliance standards, like the Payment Services Regulations 2017.

Our Electronic Payment Services Framework is designed to support you in ensuring your tenants can make safe and secure payments.

What is the Electronic Payment Services Framework?

The Electronic Payment Services Framework allows housing associations and local authorities to procure payment collection services directly, without having to endure a lengthy tender process. It’s designed to make procuring electronic payment solutions easy, giving you more options, access to a wider range of suppliers and the ability to streamline all financial transactions.

These electronic payment services improve convenience for your residents, enhance financial management and transparency for you, and provide flexibility for changing payment technologies and needs.

The framework also offers disbursement of funds, which allows members to pay our and receive payments in, either by prepay cards, vouchers or direct bank transfers, providing an end-to-end service that offers more flexibility for payments.
