BACS works fine most of the time but not all customers are equal to it.
We print our BACS details on every invoice and some less than bright
councils still write to us to ask for them. Others transmit the payments
with a cryptic reference such as KLWN or Payments Account - fortunately
we're small enough to be able to guess most of these from the amount.
