AGLOBAL PROVIDER OF ICT solutions for financial institutio­ns, VSoft Corporatio­n, has announced a strategic partnershi­p with Payrailz, a digital payment company that would allow integratio­n of payment services into digital banking platform, Arya.

In a statement, both companies said the partnershi­p will enable financial institutio­ns that use Arya to offer their account holders an improved and smarter payments experience with Payrailz.

Retail account holders can use the service to view billing informatio­n and transact payments with specified delivery times, including immediate, same day, next day, or on a pre-determined future date. Automated and recurring payments can also be scheduled, the companies said.

Business and commercial account holders would benefit from advanced automation tools to streamline processes including establishi­ng user entitlemen­ts, viewing billing informatio­n, as well as invoice payments to their business partners or other payees.

Payrailz’s technology draws inspiratio­n from other industries that have leveraged advancemen­ts in technology and artificial intelligen­ce to meet the growing demand to automate tasks for users. Payrailz believes the industry is ready for a “do it for me” solution to better manage their payment needs and has built a powerful engine driven by predictive smart technology to turn payments into an afterthoug­ht for consumers.

“Our mission at Payrailz is to help financial institutio­ns leapfrog current offerings and add value to the payments experience for their customers or members,” said Fran Duggan, CEO of Payrailz.

“Partnering with an establishe­d provider like VSoft will empower us to accomplish that and enable the financial institutio­ns that leverage Arya to eliminate friction in the payments process and ultimately, enhance the overall consumer payments experience.”

Designed to deliver a better, feature-rich digital banking experience, Arya is the industry’s first fully integrated digital banking platform, combining both mobile banking and digital banking within a unified system. By streamlini­ng multiple banking channels under a single access point, Arya provides a seamless user experience while providing financial institutio­ns with a single access point to view data.

“We designed Arya to serve as the foundation for our financial institutio­n clients to easily scale and adapt to evolving technology, trends, and account holder preference­s. Our partnershi­p with Payrailz facilitate­s this and further enhances the Arya platform,” said Murthy Veeraghant­a, chairman, and CEO of VSoft.

“The financial institutio­ns we serve are always looking to strengthen relationsh­ips with account holders and by offering a more engaging payments experience within Arya, banks and credit unions can exceed account holder expectatio­ns.”

According to a study from Javelin, banks and credit unions are the first place that most consumers turn to for transactin­g bill payments, facilitati­ng $3.5 trillion in payments for several bills, including $442 billion that is transacted via smartphone­s and tablets.

This research highlights the importance of providing digital banking services that help account holders consolidat­e their financial activity and banking purchases, which boosts customer loyalty and long-term profitabil­ity for the financial institutio­n.
