Can Telleroo handle weekly driver pay runs for large fleets?

Yes. Telleroo is built for high-volume bulk payments. You can upload a CSV file containing hundreds or thousands of driver payments and process them in one pay run. There is no practical upper limit on the number of payments per run.

How quickly do payments reach drivers' bank accounts?

UK Faster Payments typically arrive within seconds and always within two hours. Telleroo processes payments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays, so you are never limited by banking hours when you need to pay urgently.

How does Telleroo protect against fraudulent payments?

Telleroo flags new and updated payee details and runs Confirmation of Payee checks to ensure the name on the destination bank account matches the name stored against that payee in Telleroo. If the details do not match, you are alerted before the payment is sent. This significantly reduces the risk of payments being misdirected due to fraud.

How do I get started?

Getting started with Telleroo is easy. Simply create an account and submit your onboarding information. Our team will be in touch if we need any more details to set up your account. We're on hand to help every step of the way.

Logistics and Courier Payments

The challenge.

Logistics payments are high-volume, time-critical, and hard to scale manually

Paying hundreds of drivers, subcontractors, and suppliers weekly, fortnightly or monthly through traditional banking is slow, error-prone, and creates serious reconciliation headaches for finance teams.

Manual driver pay runs

Processing driver wages and per-delivery bonuses manually each week is labour-intensive and difficult to scale as your fleet grows.

Haulier payment delays

Slow payment terms damage relationships with haulage subcontractors and independent owner-operators who depend on prompt settlement.

Lack of approval processes

Having one person in charge of processesing payments makes it hard to spot mistakes, and impacts payment confidence.

Poor audit trails

Without insight into which invoices and drivers have been paid and when, it becomes harder to manage any disputes and requires manual effort across multiple systems.

Manual re-keying of data

Finance teams are stuck copying payment data from one system into their business bank manually, wasting hours every week and introducing unnecessary risk.

Invoice fraud and bank detail changes

Not having the ability to spot fake invoices or updated bank details can result in misdirected payments that are difficult to recover.

The solution.

Replace manual bank transfers with fast, bulk logistics payments

Upload a payment file or connect via API to pay all your drivers, hauliers, and suppliers in minutes. Telleroo handles the payment execution, so your finance team can stop re-keying data into your business bank.
