Your customers will benefit from the flexibility that the allpay Internet Payments service provides as they will have the ability to make regular or one-off bill payments quickly and easily, any time they want.

How it works...
To begin securely paying their bills, customers simply need access to the Internet, a valid allpay swipecard and a current debit or credit card (debit card only if preferred).
They will simply log on to www.allpayments.net where they will enter their swipecard number and password. They'll be prompted to enter the amount they wish to pay and the details of the credit/debit card from which they wish the payment to be taken from.
We're also thrilled to announce that allpayments.net now feature enhanced security with the nationally recognised brands Visa and MasterCard.
Visa (Verified by Visa) and MasterCard (SecureCard) now use a new online verification method - known as 3D Secure in the trade - as a way of ensuring your payment transaction is as secure as possible.
Just like you would use your credit or debit card with a PIN number when shopping on the High Street, 3D Secure is an additional step during the online payment process that gives you added protection against unauthorised use of your card.
Creating an 'online secure code' takes a few moments the first time, and is simple and easy to understand, customers just follow the instructions on the screen.

A simple click on 'Pay Now' and they will have easily paid their bill. This service works in complete harmony with all other payment methods from allpay and is available to use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
"It's a real bonus that as well as having numerous outlets where tenants can make payments, allpay has the added convenience of its hosted services including telephone and internet payment methods. Not only is this great for our customers, its great for us too!"
