Managing Bills
Managing bill can be difficult for payers. Often, billers will adopt different methods and mechanisms to seek payment. This makes it difficult for bill payers who find themselves juggling payment methods and tools.
Safer Payments
Unlike Pay by Link, Request to Pay safeguards bill payments from mobile devices. It delivers end to end security of data while in transit and prevents interception of messages to fake websites that leads to fraud.
Acting for someone else
Many carers find they struggle to resolve billing issues of their loved ones because they don’t have permission. By authenticating a mobile app and using Request to Pay, all payments can be make with the legitimate authority of the bill payer.
