"DPC" on natwest statement

[mrpete]

hi,
i have "DPC" on my statement (in the column where it says things like INT (interest), TRF (transfer) etc.

what does DPC mean?

[carl0s]

It means Direct banking via PC, e.g. Digital Banking.
On my statements it is the abbreviation used when I make a payment via online banking, which I had always called BACS, but wanted to find out the proper name for, since it's a same-day service now, and my bank have described it as "Faster payments". I still tell my suppliers that I have "paid via BACS" though ..

Here's the list of abbreviations from my RBS Digital Banking, which is probably identical to NatWest's:
