I'm assuming that bank payments will become more widely accepted eventually in the UK.
I've told people about the system in Switzerland where people send you a paying-in slip (personal accounts have these not just official bills) and you have the choice of taking cash+slip to a bank or PO or using the information to do an electronic payment. Mostly people just do an internet bank payments once they've got the information.
In the UK people complain about giving people your bank details but haven't these people noticed that exactly the same information (i.e. account name, number and sort code) is given on every cheque.
