The authority has identified a requirement for the provision of payment initiation and account information services in order to enable our customers to pay us by bank transfer using a secure, simple and efficient process as currently, our bank transfer journey is non-automated.
It is anticipated that during the term of the contract account information services may be required to deliver enhanced and tailored financial services therefore interested suppliers must have the ability to provide both services from the outset.
HMRC is the UK’s tax, payments and customs authority. We collect the money that pays for the UK’s public services. Our strategic objectives to help us achieve this, and become a world-class organisation, are:
Focussing on these objectives we want to use payment initiation services to make it easy for our customers to pay us by bank transfer using a secure, simple and efficient process. Currently, our bank transfer journey is non-automated which can result in a high volume of customer errors which are resource intensive to rectify. By providing an innovative, well designed journey that can be populated with our numerous reference formats and HMRC bank accounts, with little effort from our customers, we believe we can encourage card payers to move to this more cost-effective method and subsequently reduce our payment associated costs significantly.
Account information services will enable us to access appropriate customers' transactional data to deliver enhanced and tailored financial services for HMRC. It is anticipated that the AISP service may be required at some stage during the contract term, as a result interested suppliers must be able to provide both PISP and AISP from the outset. Bidders must be registered and authorised by Financial Conduct Authority and certified by and enrolled with the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE). The supplier will be expected to have connection to a high percentage of UK banks, at minimum the CMA9.
— provide a customer service helpline (telephone service) to contact the Supplier directly, at any time.
