Paym is the fast, free and easy way to receive payments from your customers or club members, and all someone needs to send your payment through is a mobile number.
How does it work for your customers?
Your customers can make payments through their online/ mobile banking or payments app, by selecting your mobile number from their contacts or entering it manually.
The customer is presented with your business account name before confirming the payment; all they need to do is press send and the money will be on its way, with the payment appearing on your statement in the normal way.
Your customers can trust the Paym service
Paym has been developed by the people who run the services that move mobile and internet banking payments between the UK’s banks.
Paym uses the same systems that already send and receive your money.
Paym has been built by all the participating banks and building societies together, to the highest possible security standards.
Payments are made at the same speed as existing mobile or online payments – in most cases, almost immediately.
