"The Caxton payroll payment solutions have transformed our payroll operations, providing faster and reliable payment solutions for our clients"
Live Pay, a payroll bureau operating nationally and internationally, faced challenges for some clients, with the traditional three-day BACS payment cycle. By partnering with Caxton, they now offer faster payments through a proprietary platform. This integration ensures quicker, more efficient payments for customers, reducing processing time from three days to just one.
A payroll payment solution is a system that allows businesses to pay employees accurately and on time. Traditional payroll relies on Bacs, which takes up to three working days and stops for weekends and bank holidays. Caxton replaces or supplements this with Faster Payments, enabling real-time salary transfers that work every hour of every day, giving payroll teams flexibility, speed, and full control.
Faster Payments payroll uses the UK Faster Payments network to send salaries instantly instead of using the traditional three-day Bacs cycle. It allows payroll teams to make payments 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays.
