Supported Banks

Banks supported

Here are the banks covered by Acquired in the UK and the payment types supported for each. Pay by Bank currently supports personal bank accounts only; business bank accounts are not yet available.

Recurring payments are split by VRP type, as coverage differs: Sweeping VRP (moving funds between a customer's own accounts) is broadly available, while Commercial VRP (cVRP) depends on each bank's participation in the UK Payments Initiative (UKPI).
