This service is made possible through a public-private sector partnership involving:
The Data Processing Department (Public Sector), Participating government agencies (Public Sector)
What are the Requirements? - An account on the Barbados Integrated Government (BIG) Portal (www.gov.bb).

Key Points To NoteValidating your Bank account number is required before you can make an online payment.
Online payments are not real-time. It takes two days after initiating the payment to confirm that the payment has been successful.
