3 benefits of working with a Bacs-approved Direct Debit software provider

September 8, 2025

For many of us, direct debits are a key part of our everyday finances. From paying bills to keeping our gym membership up to date, we rely on direct debits to help us meet our financial commitments with the minimum of fuss. 


For businesses needing to debit customers on a regular basis, a direct debit makes sense. Indeed, in the year to February 2025, almost five billion direct debit transactions took place, totalling £1.49 trillion, underlining just how accustomed we are to using direct debit. 


But when you’re looking for a solution to take regular payments from customers, there are a number of options out there that all seem to offer the same end result.


However, there are some very good reasons as to why you should partner with an
Bacs (Bankers Automated Clearing Services) approved software provider such as Mosaic Software by ClearDebit, which is one of only 13 Bacs-approved software providers in the UK.


You’ll have complete certainty


Managing numerous payments every month is a big responsibility – and as a business you need to know you’re providing your customers with the very best. Mosaic Software by ClearDebit has undergone rigorous testing and successfully completed a robust approvals process to be one of only 13 software providers to be approved by Bacs – meaning you can have complete confidence in the platform and the service you’re providing your customers. 


Safety and security a priority 


As part of the Bacs approval process, the safety and security of the software is assessed and reviewed to ensure it meets the very high standards of Bacs. After all, Bacs has been processing payments since 1968, and has a very strong reputation to protect! As your customers become increasingly concerned with online and digital security in general – as well as the security of their money online in particular – being able to offer them a Bacs-approved Direct Debit will give them confidence that their money and personal details are going to be kept safe. 


Build your own brand reputation 


The partners and suppliers you use are an extension of both your brand and your brand reputation, too. By having a Bacs-approved Direct Debit Software provider on your side, you immediately benefit from the reflected show of quality, demonstrating a commitment to doing things well, and doing things properly. 

It’s a serious consideration – after all, we’ve all seen the repercussions for a business when a supplier does the wrong thing and the contracting business has to endure the reflected negativity. Imagine that happening with something affecting all of the customers you’re regularly debiting.

As a membership organisation your direct debits are at the heart of your business. Selecting the right direct debit provider plays a significant role in your operations impacting everything from cash flow and admin load to membership retention. In order to choose the right provider you need to be able to understand exactly what you are signing up to and how it compares to other providers. To help you understand why our offering is the right choice for you, we've highlighted some key areas of ClearDebit that help us stand out amongst our competitors. Read on to discover what makes ClearDebit the provider of choice. 1. A comprehensive solution While many direct debit providers offer strong facilities management solutions, their services can be limited. At ClearDebit we provide a bureau service , software solutions, and training all under one roof so that you can manage every aspect of your membership payments. This means that with other providers you get one of several solutions that you need to successfully run your business, leaving you to figure out the rest. This can involve separate systems/multiproviders which can create more work while causing disjointed workflows that disrupt your memberships. With ClearDebit you have everything and everyone you need in one place. Our Bureau staff handle your admin, our software integrates seamlessly with your existing systems and with one of only four BACS accredited training providers our training ensures that your staff are confident using every aspect of our solution. Instead of dealing with multiple companies and contracts, you have us helping your membership organisation to succeed, which means less hassle and smoother processes. 2. Expertise & Flexibility One of ClearDebit’s greatest assets is our team, who are the key to our expert-driven approach and tailored solutions. Working directly with our clients from the offset and throughout, our team is able to provide expert advice on membership payment solutions calling on years of experience in the industry. No delays or miscommunications just support you can be confident in. Alongside the team's expertise , the tailorability of ClearDebit means that your solutions will be designed to work for the unique needs of your membership organisation. Whether it's a customised training course or a tailored direct debit system, ClearDebit can give you a way to manage membership payments that works for you. For providers without the expertise of the ClearDebit team, supplying quick answers and tailored solutions can take much longer and become significantly more difficult. What ClearDebit handles immediately through direct expert knowledge becomes a lengthy process if there’s no in-house team, involving multiple resources and extended response times. This is problematic for organisations with unique or complex needs. 3. Transparent pricing At ClearDebit, we believe in transparent pricing from day one. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just honest, straightforward service that puts your payment needs first. Our pricing structure is built on complete transparency, so that you can plan with confidence and focus on growing your business rather than worrying about unexpected costs. As many competitors are having to increase prices to account for external factors here at ClearDebit we have worked hard to be able to maintain service at rates that are both fair and sustainable. Quality and integrity are a must for us which is why we are so proud to offer some of the most competitive rates in the market for our service. By keeping these values at the core of everything we do we are able to provide you options that help you to manage your membership payments without compromising on quality or budgets. ClearDebit Here at ClearDebit we don’t just provide a payment service we provide a partnership. By creating and nurturing a relationship with our customers we are able to provide an exceptional service that sets us apart from key competitors.
