Product Showcase
We’ve offered an electronic bill presentment and payment system (EBPP) for five years, steadily adding features, power and flexibility for managing this crucial part of the billing process. Plenty of our clients rely on ExpressoPay every day but some may not be acquainted with all our recent enhancements. And for those of you not yet using our EBPP application, we want you to know how it removes barriers to payments, offers more customer choice and improves customer experience (CX).
Meeting expectations for digital payments
ExpressoPay enables companies to cater to increasing demand for digital, especially mobile, payment options. More than half, or 55.5%, of Americans prefer to to pay their bills online, according to a January 2019 survey of 2,600 consumers by advocacy organization Consumer Action. Furthermore, of those who pay their bills online, 73% did so via biller-direct websites, according to a 2018 report from Aite, with consumers moving away from paying their bills via online banking.
With ExpressoPay, consumers and patients can view their billing statements and manage payments online, via mobile devices and by phone. It delivers the choice, convenience and ease of use that growing numbers of consumers expect from companies.
Billers benefit, too
Our system helps businesses get paid faster. You can reduce collection cycle time, billing expenses and days outstanding and subsequently improve cash flow. Consumers using digital wallet statements, for example, pay four days faster on average, with online payments overall increasing 14% and call center inquiries dropping 33%, Walletron says. Plus other key advantages:
- Consumers who pay via a biller-direct website have a higher propensity to opt in for paperless billing, further reducing billing-related costs while catering to your customer preference.
- Improves biller and consumer ease of use and customer service by consolidating all payment methods except in-person on a single integrated payments platform, eliminating the need to manage and reconcile multiple payment processing systems.
It also strengthens customer loyalty and brings customers back to your website, increasing cross-sell opportunities.
