Accesspoint Media Services talk embracing the future with Payment Portals
There are many reasons as to why your firm should explore integrating a payment portal to its website and as web integrations are becoming a huge trend it’s not too late for your website to be providing more than just a visual shop window that displays service offerings. Now more than ever, clients want to be able to interact remotely with many things in life and providing your client’s with a speedy, convenient and secure option to pay their fees will ensure your firm gains a competitive edge as well as a greater level of assurance for the future.
Accesspoint’s Payment Portal is deployed as a secure, easy to use standalone portal that can be integrated with your website to facilitate client payments for greater efficiency and more convenience.
How can it help your firm?
Keep up with client expectations – Advancements in modern technology have caused a significant shift in client expectations. Now, clients can base their decision on a number, of factors one of which includes a firm’s ability to adopt the relevant technology on their side to provide efficient and convenient interactions. The payment portal provides clients with a streamlined payment process with features a pre-configured email confirmation that is sent to clients, over 50 payment gateway integrations and a simple ‘Pay Invoice’ button that can be found on your website, hyperlinks on an email or even a hyperlink embedded into your letter templates.
Improve your billing efficiency – As firms continue to face several possible outcomes due to the likelihood of a second Covid-19 wave, it remains clear that certainty is to become a valuable asset and one that you can’t afford to miss out on. With your firm’s payment portal, you can now get a transparent view of your firm’s finances as the portal has a secure login area for your designated internal contacts to login and view reports of all transactions handled by the portal in granular detail. Additionally, plan-ahead with Monthly/Annual revenue reports that can be dynamically created to track performance.
Ensure secure billing – As processes become more digital the overall level of cyber-attacks continues to increase and so the need for a high level of security when handling sensitive client payment information is essential. The portal uses secure payment gateways to provide you with a PCI-compliant experience that works across browsers and devices of all sizes. No card details remain on the portal, sensitive data is tokenised and sent directly to the payment provider without passing through our servers, so you remain PCI-DSS compliant, at, all times.
Hear what our client has to say:
“The payment portal for us really has been a no-brainer. It was up and running in January before the lockdown measures took hold, and has been an invaluable mechanism for ensuring that team members working from home have been able to provide a facility for clients to make payments and settle bills that are easy to reconcile for accounts purposes.”
