Why Text for Payments

Put the channel your customers use most to work for you.

Get your message seen and your bills paid.

Your customers want this.
Most consumers say they want texts about payments. Texting fits naturally into everything they do.
The stats don’t lie.
99% of texts are read, while only 5% of phone calls are answered, 30% of emails are opened, and direct mail takes forever.
Get more bills paid, faster.
Speed up cash flow, minimize bad debt, and spend fewer resources to do it.
Save time, be more efficient.
Reach any or all of your customers instantly and get them to pay now. Forget calling everyone and endlessly mailing invoices. Make everyone happier.
