Payment options are rapidly evolving for many consumer experiences. Unfortunately, bill pay lags behind this evolution. As lenders and billers try to catch up to offer more modern options, they often end up with a patchwork of payment platforms that is complicated and costly to manage.
Consumers have come to expect personalized experiences in nearly every business interaction—from ordering a pizza to ordering a rideshare. This demand and desire for an easy and seamless payment experience has become increasingly important for lenders who want to attract and retain customers. And it’s not just about meeting customer demand; it can also impact their bottom-line.

Chargebacks are often one of the most costly and challenging types of payment exceptions to resolve. Billers are under pressure to respond quickly, with all the right evidence on hand to win disputes. Staff must be well trained and at the ready to tackle chargebacks, all while maintaining positive customer relationships.
Demand for consumer credit is still on the rise, despite recent years of escalating inflation and recession rumors. And as interest rates may start easing downward, competition among lenders will heat up. Banks, credit unions and consumer lenders are all vying for a piece of the consumer credit pie, estimated to top $24 billion by 2032.
