Paying by CHAPS
The CHAPS system enables you to tell your bank to make an immediate payment. You know for certain that payment will reach us on the day the bank makes the payment.
CHAPS payments are significantly more expensive than other payment methods but maybe of benefit to customers making very large payments. We receive sameday value so long as you initiate payment within the time specified by your bank (usually between 9.00am and 3.00pm).
