Get paid faster by commercial
credit card

Wessex Water has partnered with HSBC and Adflex to offer an industry-leading commercial credit card payment process. The PushPay straight-through processing service will provide secure prompt payment and automates the process of getting paid.

Why is Wessex Water paying suppliers by card?

Payment by card will shorten payment cycles and improve cash flow and working capital management for your organisation and ours. In addition, it offers significant operational efficiencies and improved supplier relationships.

What is PushPay (straight-through processing)?

Replacing traditional payment methods like BACs or providing a credit number over the phone/ by email. PushPay processes card payments on behalf of the supplier straight to their business bank account. This means the supplier does not handle card details, reducing PCI scope and eliminating payment gateway fees.

What do we need from you?

As a supplier, we need your Merchant ID (MID) with your acquiring bank to settle the processed funds to your business bank account. If you cannot accept card payments, Adflex can source and provide a MID. For reference, an acquiring bank will charge approximately 2.1% of the transaction value to settle the funds.

Will the invoice process change?

No, please continue to submit your invoices as you currently do. Once an invoice is approved, we will execute the payment within a matter of days and send a remittance via email to support your reconciliation.
