If you are willing to switch banks, I'm aware of Natwest's Bankline, which takes in a CSV like file and you then authorise the whole tranche.

Does Barclays accept payment requests on paper? You could generate files which you can hand to them and ask to process.

Also come across something called Envoy Transfers before, which is somehow related to Worldpay. When I was being paid via a freelancing platform, I put my bank details into their (Envoy Transfer's) site.

My experience of the Ruby client referenced was that it was a little out of date. I was seeing errors when trying to use it a couple of weeks ago.

I am using the Gmail gem (https://github.com/nu7hatch/gmail) in couple of my rails projects and it works perfect. Every single mail is delivered.

Ah, I was try to read emails and get Ruby to process them.

[matt_ → txsl]

there are two ruby gems for Gmail, which did you use?

[txsl → matt_]

I actually tried both, as I remember

Was quite looking forward to reading this, but when I clicked the link, I was faced with: http://imgur.com/wwEogpx I think there's a certain irony seeing as this is a database related announcement!

You took a screenshot of plain text. Did "Error establishing database connection" not suffice?

[mjs → jemfinch]

Well ... I think it's actually pretty good bug reporting habit. Was it text/plain or unstyled text/html? Was the body an error message but a styled header and footer present? You might want to copy and paste the text as well, to aid future copy and paste efforts, but it's surprisingly frequently useful to have a screenshot.
