Answer Pay in Use

Direct Debit Provider

A BACs authorised direct debit bureau had recognised that with their direct debit service they were only processing 55% of all the payments for their utility customers. As a digital first company they saw the opportunity to adopt Request to Pay+ from Answer Pay and capture the remaining 45% of the payment volume.
‍
They adopted Answer Pay’s repository service to serve both sides of the ecosystem. They provided an invoicing customer a new method to collect their payments that was cheaper than their existing cash, card or cheque processing. They also gave the same company the opportunity to increase the engagement with their customer base by enabling the payment of their bills (not just those from the company). The BACs bureau solved the problems that were facing the invoicing company and saw a resultant increase in payment volume.
