Provision of Corporate Banking Services

Notice Description

The University of Southampton has a requirement for the provision of Corporate Banking and Merchant Card services.

The University also requires the provision of Merchant Card services to support a full range of card payment options (to include virtual terminal payments, recurring card payments, web payments, DCC payments) through a variety of payment solutions (including contactless, chip and pin, wireless and mobile).
