A proven business process

Behind the scenes, PayPoint runs a well-established central processing and settlement system at the heart of the service, delivering the highest possible standards of performance, 365 days of the year.

Daily polling of terminals, rapid overnight processing and prompt next-day transmission of payment files ensure that customers’ accounts can be updated within 24 hours of payments being made. This smooth operation regularly handles many hundreds of thousands of transactions a day, with ample additional capacity available.

The entire production process is fully backed up by comprehensive business continuity provision, including a standby site for the immediate fall-over of all IT operations.
