Employer Salary payments coming in, what is the name of this bank transfer ?

When employers pay you, your salary once a week what is that transfer method called?

where the money is transferred from the employers account department to the employee’s bank accounts?

Is it a wire transfer? (for Uk transfers, lets say you work for boots, or comet - for example)

    some may use faster payments now.
  • "Once a week"? The sort of companies that pay via BACS usually pay their staff monthly.

    Not always. My current employer pays all hourly staff weekly by BACS that is set up and sent on the Tuesday night to be in the bank Friday for the prior weeks work.

    It will most likely be BACS. Can I ask OP why they want to know?

    I pay using faster payments, but I only have 8 staff, so not too much hassle to do each individually.
