Invoicing solution seamlessly integrates with end-to-end digital
payment options

COTTAGE, N.Y., June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CheckAlt, a leading
provider of payment processing solutions, today announced a
partnership with Hiveage, a software company that automates online
invoicing for small businesses (SMBs). Leveraging Mastercard's
account-to-account Remote Payment and Presentment Service (RPPS)
network, this partnership allows Hiveage to add a robust new,
streamlined payment method for SMB customer invoices.
Market data indicates that checks are a ubiquitous bill payment
method in the U.S., with billions still being sent each year. Yet,
incoming checks, especially payments initiated through online bank
bill pay which are intended as electronic payments but are often
converted to paper, result in delay and friction for SMBs. This
strains their cashflow, diverting their valuable time to manual,
time-intensive reconciliation, and posing potential risks of
fraud and insufficient funds. For Hiveage's 50,000
entrepreneur customers in the U.S., more than half of their
invoices are paid offline including with physical checks.
"We're thrilled to collaborate with CheckAlt to enable our SMB
customers to get paid faster and avoid the hassle of paper checks,"
said Prabhath Sirisena, Co-Founder
and Chief Product Officer of Hiveage. "A key problem our SMBs face
is the significant 'leakage' of their customers' payments into
offline checks. Adding online banking's bill pay as a payment
option on Hiveage invoices will help our SMBs avoid unwanted checks
while gaining the speed available through digital payments."
CheckAlt's Catch! solution, powered by Mastercard RPPS, allows
Hiveage SMBs to offer their payors the option to pay through a
single, trusted digital interface, either through their bank's bill
pay portal or through another provider. This complements other
digital forms of payment and streamlines their bill payments
through one entity.
"Getting paid quickly and securely continues to be a critical
need for SMBs," said Joseph Zeltzer,
SVP, Product Management, Mastercard, North America. "Mastercard RPPS enables SMBs
to get paid digitally through bank bill pay, reducing paper checks
as a means of payments and improving visibility into cashflow.
Together with CheckAlt and Hiveage, we're helping bring more SMBs
into the digital economy."
"We're honored to integrate CheckAlt's innovative product,
Catch!, with Hiveage's platform," said Shai
Stern, CEO at CheckAlt. "Catch! addresses a $900 billion industry problem by reducing paper
checks. This will make payment acceptance simpler for Hiveage's
SMBs, getting them paid 70% faster than paper check."
