Why Use SMS for Payments and Collections?

1. Faster Response Than Email or Post
SMS messages are read almost immediately, with open rates of over 95%. Payment reminders sent by text are far more likely to be seen and acted upon, leading to quicker payments and improved cash flow.

2. Reduce Late Payments and Missed Deadlines
Gentle reminders delivered at the right time can significantly reduce the number of overdue accounts. Use SMS to notify customers of upcoming due dates, failed payments or payment plan instalments.

3. Improve Customer Experience with Clear Communication
SMS is non-intrusive, convenient, and preferred by many customers. Provide short, friendly reminders or include a secure link to a payment portal, making it easy for customers to take action.

4. Automate Your Collections Workflow
Trigger SMS messages automatically based on invoice status, account activity or CRM updates. Reduce the manual effort involved in chasing payments and free up your finance team’s time.

5. Support Compliance and Data Security
Our SMS platform is fully GDPR-compliant and built to handle sensitive financial communications responsibly. You maintain full control over your data and delivery activity.
