Talk:Bacs

message: Article needs description of current use of BACS to balance the long section on FPS ? e.g. Usage, volumes ... ? - Rod57 (talk) 01:04, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  This still needs a plain English explanation, it's one of those pages that only makes sense if you already know the deatils... I used to run an organisation that used BACS. The article doesn't explain that there is a delay between a company having a 'BACS run' and the payment going to the payee of a number of days. The reason I came here was to check how long that delay is (from memory, three days, but I wanted to be sure). This is important information and the main distinction (from a user point of view) between BACS and direct credit transfer, which is typically almost instant. Can someone in the know add accurate information on this point? Stub Mandrel (talk) 11:25, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Removed:
:*In science, a trial is the result of a given run of a given experiment, with the usual object of testing a scientific hypothesis.  Multiple trials are usually run, when possible, for an experiment, in order to offset the effects of random error.
:* In proprietary software (and some other commercial products), a trial version or trial or piece of trialware is a version of a product that only works for a limited period of time (and sometimes has reduced functionality).  A trial version of a software package (or piece of trialware) is often produced by a software publisher to help users get a feel for it before deciding whether to buy the full version.  See the more general term, shareware.
:*In probability mathematics, a trial is an action that results in one of a number of outcomes or elementary events.
because none links to an article with trial in the name or refers to trial.  Maybe all 3 need to be articles? Tedernst 19:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I think that the majority of people thinking of the word "trial" would think of a legal trial.
