At present, you can only use the service if you have a merchant account from UTP Group.  If you do, your account can be configured for Faster Processing within a few days.

If you don’t have an existing merchant account we will use our partner, UTP Group, to create an account for you with Barclaycard.  Your new merchant account will then be enabled for Faster Processing.

We have three services:

• Option 1 – Hourly Batch Funding – You will receive one payment each hour relating to all transactions processed on your Chip and PIN machine(s) during the previous hour.

• Option 2 – End-of-Day Batch Funding – You will receive one payment at the end of your trading day relating to the total of all transactions processed during your trading day.

• Option 3 – Intra-Day Funding – Each transaction you accept on the Chip and PIN machine will be processed and separately funded, normally within one to two hours.

If you have selected Intra-Day Funding or Hourly Batch funding, you will receive your funds within one to two hours of the transaction being processed.  If you have selected End-of-Day Batch Funding, you will receive your funds within one to two hours after the end of your banking window.  Please note the service operates during working hours on working days which are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm.  Any transactions processed outside of these hours will be funded within one hour of the start of the next working day.

Please contact our partner, UTP Group, on 0118 953 0950 who will be able to check eligibility for evening and weekend funding.

You will continue to receive statements and text messages on these days however you will not receive funding until the next working day.  The service can only transfer funds during the hours that the banks in the UK are open.
