NETS launches PayCollect to ease billing and payment collections

Businesses can now move their entire billing and collections cycle online.

Payment services group NETS launched PayCollect, a new online service that allows businesses and consumers to interact electronically, an announcement revealed.

Through PayCollect, businesses are able to send e-invoices via SMS or email to their consumers for payments via DBS, OCBC, UOB or NetsPay mobile apps. Customers can then click a link within the notification and be directed to a secure payment page.

The service can also be integrated with popular accounting packages to enable corporations to track payment statuses in real time, whilst smaller business can also use PayCollect on its own by using the customer’s mobile number to issue an e-invoice.

PayCollect was implemented by KK’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital in March for their wellness programmes and events and have so far received positive feedback from users.

“PayCollect is an end-to-end solution that effectively solves the last-mile collection problem for business by moving their entire billing cycle online and providing their customers with the ability to make e-payments directly and easily from a mobile device,” said Ricky Lim, managing director of NETS Solutions.

The service is also said to complement national digitisation initiatives as it provides the capability for e-invoicing and reduces cash and cheque usage.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
