The 5-year contract offers the auto financier’s customers access to Speedpay’s Walletron solution
Englewood, CO (October 17, 2017) – Speedpay, Inc., a Western Union® company, announced its renewed relationship with Flagship Credit Acceptance, a leading auto-finance provider with a nationwide network of more than 9,400 dealers. As part of its five-year deal, which positions Speedpay as Flagship’s electronic billing presentment and exclusive payments provider, Flagship will be Speedpay’s first auto finance client to offer the moBills® solution through Walletron.
“Our commitment to Speedpay is a testament to the confidence we have in their array of solutions – namely, their mobile payment options – that will help make it easier for our customers to pay their bills on time,” said David Bertoncini, Chief Operating Officer at Flagship Credit Acceptance. “Aligning with Speedpay means we will have greater efficiency in billing, access to top-notch customer service, and a reliable stream of payments.”
As part of its agreement with Speedpay to implement Walletron moBills®, Flagship will provide customers with the option to view their statement or pay their bill from within their smartphones’ mobile wallets. Users will receive light-up phone notifications reminding them to make or schedule a payment before a bill is due, and those who make automatic payments can also receive smartphone notifications confirming their payment has been made. The customer’s Flagship bill will update automatically in their mobile wallet, providing accurate account information in a centralized place on their phone.
“The moBills® solution enables Flagship to offer their customers a convenient, mobile-centric view into their account that complements their lifestyles. No more remembering their account numbers or log-in information before being able to make a payment – essential functions given the on-the-go demands of today’s consumers,” said Frank Lockridge, Head of Speedpay. “It’s one of the many options we offer our clients to help them reach their customers in the right place, at the right time, to facilitate timely payments.”
