We’re delighted to share that on 15 April 2025, ESco underwent our latest BACS audit and passed with flying colours. As a BACS-approved bureau, this means we’re officially reaffirmed and fully authorised to process Direct Debits on behalf of our clients—securely, accurately, and with complete confidence. More importantly, it’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, compliance and doing things properly.
This inspection, conducted by Pay.UK, happens every three years – a thorough check-up on our policies, procedures, systems and security to make sure we’re not just meeting the required standards, but maintaining them day in, day out.
And let’s be clear: this kind of success doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of people putting in the work – consistently, quietly, and with real care.
Lee Turbard, our Head of Risk & Compliance, has been part of the ESco fabric since 1989. He’s the one who makes sure we don’t just meet expectations – we’re always looking one step ahead.
Compliance and trust go hand in hand – especially when we’re handling payments on behalf of our clients. Passing our regular BACS inspection once again is great news, but it’s also confirmation that the way we work – with diligence, care, and integrity – is what keeps ESco a trusted partner for subscription management.
Lee Turbard, Head of Risk & Compliance, ESco
Thanks to our incredible team for the attention to detail and the behind-the-scenes brilliance that made this result possible. We’ll continue working hard to maintain the highest of standards – for our clients, their customers, and for the future of ESco.
