I want it now!
Society and modern culture has increasingly high expectations of the service
delivered by organisations. We take it for granted that we can compare
insurance quotes, make our selection, arrange payment within a few minutes
and that the cover can start immediately.
Such customer service expectations increasingly affect all organisations
making and receiving payments. Faster Payments has marked a paradigm
shift in your customers’ expectations.
Customers will be making payments in near real time, and will expect that
payments back to them will be as fast.

Firstly what is DCA?
Direct Corporate Access (DCA) enables Corporate Banking customers to
submit Faster Payments directly to the Faster Payments Service (FPS)
central infrastructure.
It is available for payment submissions 24 hours per day#, 365 days per year
inclusive of bank holidays.
DCA payments will be processed within 30 minutes and sent to the
beneficiary bank.
Beneficiary banks must apply funds to money transmission accounts within 2
hours. In many cases they will do this immediately.
Payments can be made to FPS addressable sort codes (Virtually all sort codes
addressable for electronic payments).
Barclays was the first bank to launch a DCA service in July 2009.
# Note: Preplanned maintenance outages may occur at weekends

Potential DCA Applications
Whilst the vast majority of payments will continue to be routed via the Bacs
service, DCA provides an alternative where fast payment would be
appreciated by the beneficiary.
• Potential applications for DCA are:• Contingency for late submission of Bacs payments where the value date
is critical e.g. salary payments
• Weekly payroll (allowing later input of data)
• Staff expenses – minimising the time that staff are out of pocket.
• Customer service refunds where Faster Payments enables fast
resolution.
• Bureaux for valued added services to their clients.

• Financial Institutions who are not members of FPS but require a FPS
payments capability for their online and telephone banking services

Can Indirect users and Bureaux use the service?
Indirect Users
• Indirect users submit their payment instructions via a bureau.
• As Barclays is aiming to be the first bank to launch, initially only Barclays’
and its agency banks’ sponsored indirect customers will be able to use
DCA.
• The indirect user will need to be registered with a bureau which has been
enabled by their sponsor bank to make FPS submissions.
• Indirect users should enquire first of their bureau.
Bureaux
• Barclays sponsored bureaux will be registered for the submission of FPS
files.

How does DCA and Bacs differ?
There are some important differences between DCA and Bacs :• DCA to FPS payments are not revocable or recallable by the
originator.
• DCA automatically makes a real-time electronic payment
authorisation request to the customer’s sponsor bank (e.g. Barclays)
to check funding. Therefore Barclays customers must have funds,
overdraft or DCA limit agreed for the debit bank account.
• In the event of lack of funds, the payment file will be simultaneously
debited and recredited. No other advice will be given. The file will
need to be resubmitted.
• There are no charges for recalls (not possible) nor referrals
(automated).

How does DCA and Bacs differ? continued
• There is no “bank grade” concept for Financial Institutions. (This is a
facility for agency banks to originate transactions on behalf of their
customers).
• Connections must be via the internet (VocaLink extranet connections
will not work for DCA).
