Sometimes the traditional approach works best. Bank transfers give you complete control and work with every UK bank.
When to use a bank transfer
Perfect if your bank doesn't support Open Banking, Open Banking is limited, or you prefer the traditional approach.
How it works
Create your payment in Apron as usual
Choose Pay via bank transfer
We provide our bank details and a unique reference
Make the transfer from your online banking
We process payments once we receive your money
Note: Make sure to include the correct payment reference in your transfer, exactly as shown on Apron, so we can identify the purpose of the payment.
Transfer timing
Once we receive the funds from you, here’s when the money should arrive in your suppliers’/employees’ accounts:
UK transfers (GBP) – Usually arrive in minutes, can take up to 1 day
International transfers – USD usually takes a few hours to 3 days, EUR usually takes a few hours to 2 days
Exceeding bank limits
For a payrun that exceeds your account's per-transfer or daily limits, you can split it across multiple transfers using the same reference. We wait for the full amount before processing any payments.
For HSBC Corporate users
When choosing Pay via Bank Transfer in Apron, select Single Payment - Faster Payment in HSBC Online Banking. Choose Send this payment as soon as possible. This ensures we receive the payment and can process it smoothly.
