PCI-DSS COMPLIANT OMNI-CHANNEL PAYMENT SERVICES

Exceed your customer expectations with the next generation of PCI payment/IVR services

All Creative Telecoms services work seamlessly together, providing a unique omni-channel one stop shop for payment solutions – from agent assisted payments (AAP), online payment portals (OPP), telephone payment lines, outbound SMS, click-to-pay web links and much more.

Delivered by our PCI-DSS compliant platform that is recommended by international payment gateways and PCI QSAs alike, all payment methods can be securely tokenised so no matter which way your customers choose to pay, you can offer a user-friendly, first class experience.

This leads to fewer abandoned transactions, less time chasing payments and no costly, time consuming integration/API of multiple systems from different providers. 

Reporting on multiple payment services via a single platform is simple, Creative Telecoms provide a dedicated real-time dashboard with options to integrate with your existing systems for greater automation.  Work with Creative Telecoms as a single, trusted provider to help you achieve your business goals.

One sample of the various ways Omni-Channel Payment Services works:

Your customer makes a payment through your branded online payment portal and ticks the option to save their card for future use. When making their next payment they choose to pay by phone via an automated telephone IVR. Once the platform confirms their identity, the customer can easily & quickly use the saved details from the previous online payment.
