Service additions

There are a multitude of additions we provide to suit your bespoke IVR solution.

Your solution can be configured to suit your business needs, all fully secure to the highest level of PCI-DSS compliance.

Secure Voice Recognition – Powered by AI

Capturing non-numerical information from your customers on a telephone keypad is impossible. However, it can be important to capture the details have no numbers or a mix of alphanumerics – such as name, postcode, National Insurance number or car registration.

Additionally, using a telephone keypad to input account information or card details can be challenging for some customers, especially for those with a severe physical disability.

To cater for all demographics and information formats, our service can be configured to prompt the customer to speak details out loud, accurately deciphering their answers and progressing to the next step. Our AI technology uses grammar, syntax, structure, and composition of audio and voice signals to understand and process human speech.

Card details are verified and processed securely. The system will mute the call as sensitive details are spoken, so any call recordings are out-of-scope and you remain PCI-DSS compliant.

Automatic Voice Transcription

With this voice to text option, customers can be prompted to speak their details aloud at certain steps. The service will provide this information back to you in a sound file, transcribed text format in Excel or integrated directly to your back office systems via our powerful API.

Powered by world-leading technology, our clients use this for a range of uses; such as logging address information for Charity Gift Aid, or providing comments and feedback at the end of the payment process.

This bypasses the hurdles of manually transcribing details from call recordings, such as data security issues when sensitive details are involved. It can also become expensive and time-consuming when you’re faced with high volumes.

Direct Debit Payments

Add Direct Debit to your payment solution and start securing collections through one of the most trusted channels in the UK.

Set up, modify and monitor Direct Debits simply and conveniently, avoiding the hassle of chasing a multitude of late payments. Options include: payment plans and one-off transactions to collect variable amounts, subscription payments and fixed fees alike.

Tokenisation

Tokenise a customer’s card, meaning they will only need to provide card details once, saving them time on regular payments and purchases.

All payments are secure as card details are not stored anywhere outside the issuing card company, with tokens containing a dedicated reference for every individual customer.

E.g. Policy number, customer number, customer name, phone number, etc.

Recurring Payments

Offer your customers a Recurring Payment Plan with a range of payment frequencies, such as weekly, fortnightly, monthly, etc.

A Recurring Payment Plan / CPA (Continuous Payment Authority) differs from a Direct Debit as you can re-take failed payments, restarting the plan and avoiding expensive failed payment charges.

This method is recommended by the FCA, as debt isn’t added onto customers paying off existing debt.

SFTP Integration

Validate your customer transactions and avoid matching every transaction and investigating human errors.

You’ll have the option to supply customer records or a list of outstanding payments so transactions can be validated as a customer makes a payment.

Bespoke API Integration

Our solutions are compatible with many different APIs, allowing integration with hundreds of different platforms.

If necessary, a bespoke API can be developed to work seamlessly with your business systems.
