All future RPA payments to be made via BACS

With effect from 16th October 2008, the RPA can now only make payments via BACS as a result of requirements under European legislation. This affects all payments made by the RPA including Single Payment Scheme and agri-environment scheme payments. If farmers have not registered their bank details with the RPA, they will need to do so as soon as possible. Further information is available on the RPA website.
