In 2019, AiB commenced using the Scottish Government direct debit service provided by Paygate to support its new Case Management System - "eDEN". During the build phase AiB were developing and testing against Paygate Version 2.7. Upon going live, it was established that the Scottish Government was using Paygate Version 2.5, which was incompatible with some of the functionality delivered in the development of eDEN.
