Public sector payments
How Barclaycard Payments can support your public sector organisation
From local authorities and social housing to education and the charity sector, the UK public sector spent a total of £1,095.4 bn1 in 2023/2024.
That’s where we can help. Our combined capabilities for making and taking payments could help you reduce spend and deliver your services more efficiently. We’ll also put you at the heart of a payment ecosystem that’s connected to the talent and scale of the Barclays group, and to a network of strategic partners and beyond.
Data-fuelled insight to drive ambitions
Data is collected and decoded to provide you with meaningful insights about payments inside and outside of your organisation.
Efficiencies enabled by automation
Whether that’s allowing employees to make payments efficiently while travelling, or paying your suppliers on time, our automated processes help to save time and money.
Optimise your payment strategy
We’ll work with you on a seamless payment process to help boost transactions, whether you operate face-to-face, online or across channels.
How we work with our public sector clients
We’re a supplier on Crown Commercial Service (CCS) frameworks, providing services to meet the payment needs of organisations.
Utilising these frameworks, organisations can save on card fees and gain operational efficiencies, achieved through reducing the number of invoices to be processed.
How we can help our public sector clients make and take payments
We can support you with introducing simple and secure ways to make payments, including more control over spending using tailored restrictions, protection against third party fraud and the ability to unlock cash flow.
You can take a variety of payment methods, including different currencies, either online or through a physical device. Our payment solutions can be used to support local authority car parks, university cafeterias, accepting charity donations and much more.
