UoB will continue to run our own Direct Debit collection process. - It is desirable that all student payment options will be offered via a single por-tal, rather than having to link to multiple services from the UoB website. - The University handles US Loans, and we are interested to know about any solutions suppliers have for managing this. - The University receives commercial income from a range of sources includ-ing Amazon, Google Pay, Stripe, our payment services provider, our catering Epos system (currently out for tender), and card readers across the campus. Therefore the supplier will need to interface and align to existing infrastruc-ture. - The University requires PCI-DSS compliant, P2P encrypted card readers in a range of locations across campus, including full technical support. - The University requires card processing/acquiring - whether supplied by the PSP or separately in partnership. This includes having acquiring in place for card payments received from our card readers and incoming Epos system - therefore acquirers able to work with a range of main market Epos suppliers may be preferred - The University requires clear management information from all payment channels showing volumes and value of payments received, and cost of transactions through each route.
