Useful Information
The physical bank account to be used with SCO Online Payments can be an existing bank account or a new bank account set up specifically to use with SCO Online Payments.
Within SCO, all bank accounts with cost centres containing products or trips that will be made available to purchase via SCO Online Payments must be configured to be used with either WorldPay, VMS or your Local Authority’s ePayment gateway (specific LAs only).
If you don't yet have a WorldPay or VMS account, please contact training@tucasi.com.
Adding a bank account and entering VMS details should be carried out with a Tucasi Consultant who will guide you through entering the correct details and making a test payment to ensure the funds arrive safely in your new bank account. Please contact training@tucasi.com to arrange this. We strongly advise against continuing with this section with Tucasi assistance.
