Payroll, settled at 00:01.
Upload your bank file. We verify every line, raise an HMRC-compliant VAT invoice, take payment in the portal, and release through our authorised payment institution at one minute past midnight on your chosen pay date.
Built for bureaus who refuse surprises
Three things move payroll forward. We built each one with the discipline you would expect from a private bank, not a startup.
Drag, drop, parsed
Upload BACS Standard 18, Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds or NatWest CSV. Every sort code and account number checked against the Vocalink modulus tables before commit.
- Five UK bank formats
- Vocalink modulus check
- Per-row validation badges
- Mistakes caught before commit
Sequential, gap-free
HMRC-compliant VAT invoice generated atomically with payment tranches. Sequential numbers under transaction lock so concurrent commits never collide.
- Sequential AP-XXXXXX numbers
- 20% VAT on full gross
- Atomic commit RPC
- Audit-ready from day one
Human in the loop
Every submission reviewed by Alpine staff against an eight-item checklist before release. Dual control above five million pounds.
- Eight-item review checklist
- Dual-control above £5M
- Beneficiary list visible
- Released at 00:01 sharp
A regulated chain. A safeguarded account. A timestamp you can hold us to.
Client funds are held in a segregated account, kept separate from Alpine's own money, and released to workers at 00:01 on pay day. Funds are never held any longer than necessary. Payments are processed by an Authorised Payment Institution under the Payment Services Regulations 2017.
