Yes — you’ll need your own Service User Number (SUN) to use Front2Bax. We work exclusively with organisations that hold a SUN, as this ensures you are authorised to submit Bacs payments directly. If you already have a SUN, you’re ready to go. If you’re unsure about your status or how to obtain one, our team is always happy to point you in the right direction.
Front2Bax is a purely on-premise software solution, installed directly onto your systems. For many organisations, this provides greater control, security and peace of mind compared to cloud-based alternatives. Your payment data remains within your own IT environment, under your own security policies and infrastructure — with no reliance on third-party hosting platforms. This makes it particularly attractive to organisations with strict compliance, data protection or internal governance requirements.
Our onboarding process is straightforward and efficient. We’ll schedule a call at a convenient time to download and install Front2Bax onto your system. During this session, we work closely with your finance and IT teams to ensure everything is configured correctly and aligned with your internal processes. The goal is a smooth, disruption-free implementation so your teams can start processing payments with confidence right away.
