Step 1 - Requesting a payment
Once your account is open you can start requesting payments.
Simply type in the amount you need to be paid and any reference number you want to appear on your bank statement when it arrives.
Wow - that was pretty easy wasn't it!
Step 2 - Share your payment request
Zap generates a QR code that the payer can scan in person or alternatively you can send them the payment link embedded in an SMS message or email.
Your work is done - sit back, relax we'll let you know when the money hits your account!
Step 3 - Making the payment
Once the payer scans the QR code or clicks on the link in the SMS or email they are taken to a list of the UK's leading retail banks.
They now just need to select the one they bank with and they will be redirected into their mobile or online banking app.
OK - stay calm its nearly done!
Step 4 - The final step
The payer is taken to their familiar mobile or online banking payment screen where they see the payment to you already set up with your bank details and your reference number already embedded in the instruction.
They click pay and the payment is pushed by their bank straight into the UK Faster Payment network (the network that carries all of the UK bank to bank payments) and will arrive in your account within seconds without passing through any intermediaries.
That's it folks! - move along now, nothing to see here, the payments over!
