Ring Remserv. I obtained computer and organise my own finance - and they just pay me.   Same with their motor vehicle plans - it is simpler if you use their preferred supplier, but when I am not happy with their supplier, I have payment taken from my bank account for my preferred supplier and they reimburse into same account often on same day.
