Choose your data capture methods…

There are three ways for a Customer to make a PCI-DSS compliant payment with an Agent over the phone.

Your solution can be configured to use a combination of methods… all fully secure to the highest level of PCI-DSS compliance.

Voice Recognition

Customers can read out sensitive account and cardholder data (CHD) securely. Agents wont hear these details, and all systems and call recordings stay out of scope. Powered by our Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) engine.

Agent Digital

Customers receive a text and email with a link to input card details securely, with no need to secure the call.
You can descope your payment collection by 100%, ensuring maximum security for your customers.

Keypad Entry (DTMF)

Customers input sensitive card details into their telephone keypad.

DTMF tones are masked so you'll have no concerns that the cardholder data can be exposed at the other end.

Service additions

There are a multitude of additions we provide to tailor your Agent Assisted Payment solution.

Your solution can be configured to suit your business needs, all fully secure to the highest level of PCI-DSS compliance.

Secure Voice Recognition

Direct Debit Payments

Tokenisation

Recurring Payments

SFTP Integration

Bespoke API Integration

Secure Voice Recognition

Capturing non-numerical information from your customers on a telephone keypad is impossible. However, it can be important to capture the details have no numbers or a mix of alphanumerics – such as name, postcode, National Insurance number or car registration.

Additionally, using a telephone keypad to input account information or card details can be challenging for some customers, especially for those with a severe physical disability.

To cater for all demographics and information formats, our Payment IVR service can be configured to prompt the customer to speak details out loud, accurately deciphering their answers and progressing to the next step.

Card details are verified and processed securely. The system will mute the call as sensitive details are spoken, so any call recordings are out-of-scope and you remain PCI-DSS compliant.

Direct Debit Payments

Add Direct Debit to your payment solution and start securing collections through one of the most trusted channels in the UK.

Set up, modify and monitor Direct Debits simply and conveniently, avoiding the hassle of chasing a multitude of late payments. Options include: payment plans and one-off transactions to collect variable amounts, subscription payments and fixed fees alike.

Tokenisation

Tokenise a customer’s card, meaning they will only need to provide card details once, saving them time on regular payments and purchases.

All payments are secure as card details are not stored anywhere outside the issuing card company, with tokens containing a dedicated reference for every individual customer.

E.g. Policy number, customer number, customer name, phone number, etc.

Recurring Payments

Offer your customers a Recurring Payment Plan with a range of payment frequencies, such as weekly, fortnightly, monthly, etc.

A Recurring Payment Plan / CPA (Continuous Payment Authority) differs from a Direct Debit as you can re-take failed payments, restarting the plan and avoiding expensive failed payment charges.

This method is recommended by the FCA, as debt isn’t added onto customers paying off existing debt.

SFTP Integration

Validate your customer transactions and avoid matching every transaction and investigating human errors.

You’ll have the option to supply customer records or a list of outstanding payments so transactions can be validated as a customer makes a payment.

Bespoke API Integration

Our solutions are compatible with many different APIs, allowing integration with hundreds of different platforms.

If necessary, a bespoke API can be developed to work seamlessly with your business systems.
