Bluefin, the Leader in Payment Security, has selected IVR Technology Group to furnish their merchants using their PayConex gateway with secure automated payments by phone and text. PayConex provides secure debit/credit card and ACH payment processing in the United States and Canada.
As Bluefin expands its service offerings to its merchants, additional contactless payment options were critical. IVR phone and text payments have seen a dramatic rise in demand as companies respond to consumer expectations in the wake of COVID-19.
“Demand for omni-channel payment solutions has significantly increased since the start of the pandemic,” said Greg Cornwell, Chief Revenue Officer, Bluefin. “We are seeing more and more Ecommerce and pay-by-phone transactions across our healthcare, higher education and government/utility customer base. Our integration with IVR Technology Group enables the highest level of PCI compliant phone payments directly through PayConex, which means simple adoption for our clients. The solution is a valuable tool for any Bluefin merchant seeking secure, automated phone payments.”
