We are delighted to announce that The Access Bank UK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Access Bank Plc, has joined Bacs Payments Schemes Limited (Bacs). The Bank becomes the latest participant to offer access to systematically important payment methods, Direct Debit and Bacs Direct Credit to its customers.

The Access Bank UK is the third brand to join Bacs since the start of the year and the sixth new participant in just over 12 months.

The Access Bank UK’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Simmonds commented “Today marks another key development for The Access Bank UK as we join Bacs, a move which follows a year of significant all-round growth for us in 2017. Our ethos is based on building the trust and loyalty of our customers and we have a clear commitment to strong customer service. Joining Bacs is yet another example of this approach, as we further improve and increase the services we offer.”

Bacs’ General Manager, Andy Hollingdale said: “It’s perhaps fitting that, in a year in which we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we have already seen three new participants join Bacs. This sends a clear message that the products we manage are as important as they have ever been to both consumers and businesses, highlighted by the processing records we continue to set. I’m pleased to welcome The Access Bank UK on board and it’s great that their customers will be able to enjoy easy access to our payment products.”
