As of the 1st of April, all clients who opt for the Real Time Notifications solution will now receive alerts when a customer completes a payment transaction, improving productivity and providing up-to-date payment information.

Real-Time Payment Notifications deliver updates in real-time to businesses for all transactions, including successful payments, declined payments, and refunds. This feature will greatly benefit rent, bill, and debt collectors, allowing them to update customer balances faster than waiting for the Payment Information Files (PIFs), which take a day to come through. Real-time updates are particularly important for urgent payments like eviction cases, debt repayments, deposits, and court fines.

Tony Killeen, CEO of allpay, said, "We are excited to launch the next level of our payment solution offering with Real Time Notifications improving efficiency, better management, and productivity. It is essential for businesses to be able to monitor and react to transactions, particularly when it comes to payments and consumer satisfaction. Through our collaboration with Payzone, we are innovating the future of payments over the counter."

Real Time Notifications will also provide clients with valuable data insights into their customers’ behaviour and product effectiveness. By focusing their debt collection efforts on customers who haven’t paid, they can save money and improve customer experience. Payment Information Files will still be available the next working day, but the Real Time Notifications solution will offer an additional service to clients who need real-time updates.
