Bacs

Bacs is the UK payment system behind Direct Debit and Bacs Direct Credit. It processes payments on a three-day cycle and is the long-standing mechanism for collecting regular loan repayments and paying out funds in bulk.

Bacs is reliable and familiar but slower and less real-time than Faster Payments or Open Banking rails.
