Aliaswire DirectBiller Modernizes Billing and Payment for Utilities

admin by admin

Bill payment and credit solutions provider Aliaswire showcased new capabilities for utility clients in its DirectBiller platform, reporting impressive growth in the number of payments being processed by utilities.

The new features address the growing need for utilities to meet customer expectations for more modern and convenient payment methods, while also reducing their operating costs.

The company saw a 337% increase in the number of payments processed by utility companies on its DirectBiller platform over the last 12 months, with one natural gas provider processing over one million payments per month and continuing to grow volume at 12% month-over-month.

Aliaswire CEO Jed Rice says that when you have recurring billing relationships like utilities, the billing and payment experience becomes a critical touchpoint. “In many cases, it may be the only one a utility has with a customer each month. Not only does that experience have a huge impact on customer satisfaction, but it can also create big operational inefficiencies without proficient systems and processes in place, as finance teams are then forced to manually handle payment receipt and reconciliation.”

DirectBiller optimizes the billing and payment experience for residential, commercial and non-consumption utility customers. The platform manages the entire end-to-end process from billing through payment reconciliation and encourages on-time payments by providing easy and secure ways for customers to receive and pay their utility bills.

DirectBiller enables utilities to consolidate all payment channels on a single platform and integrates seamlessly with utilities’ ERP systems and their banks’ treasury management systems to streamline payment reconciliation.
