What the wallet is

The wallet facility lets you:

  • Add money in advance to a wallet balance.

  • Use that balance to pay for checks, instead of making a separate card payment for every application.

How you add funds

You can top up the wallet by:

  • Debit / credit card, or

  • BACS (bank transfer)

Important:

  • BACS payments are only accepted as a way to top up the wallet (not to pay directly for individual checks).

  • BACS funds are usually added to your wallet within 1 working day of uCheck receiving cleared funds,

    • unless the correct payment reference is missing, which can cause delays.

Top-up limits

  • Minimum wallet top-up per transaction: £5.00

  • Maximum wallet top-up per transaction: £300.00

Who can top up

  • There are no restrictions on who can add funds to the wallet, as long as they use a valid payment method.

Visibility and control

  • Your wallet balance is always visible in the system.

  • You can withdraw funds at any time if you no longer need them in the wallet.

Statement history

You can track all wallet activity using the statement history:

  • Shows:

    • Deposits

    • Withdrawals

    • Refunds

    • Checks that have used wallet funds

  • Covers up to 12 months of records.

  • You can:

    • Filter by date for live viewing.

    • Download the statement as a CSV file for your records.

This helps you monitor wallet usage and reconcile payments internally.
