Utilites Payment Facilitator model

Designed with the needs of your utility company clients in mind, ProFac Express℠ by ProPay® enables SaaS technology platforms to process payments on behalf of utilities with a single MSA for states that have the payee agent authority exemption and for states they can get clearance on. Much more than a simple payment gateway, ProFac Express provides all the standard payment processing you’d expect, along with instant onboarding of the client sub-merchants, convenience fees, tokenization for recurring billing and an understanding of the unique requirements of utilities.

Options for payment setup

 
SaaS platforms accepting payments on behalf of their utility clients may be able to keep their existing payment acceptance model in place with ProPay. The ProFac solution is a fantastic alternative as well for companies with this setup.
