The Payment Source Blog

Now Prepay was thrilled to be an exhibitor at the 2021 Convenience U CARWACS virtual show. Although this year’s show may have looked a little different, we are thrilled to have exhibited alongside hundreds of highly qualified exhibitors in the convenience industry. This year’s theme was “Discover. Differentiate. Profit.”, with a focus on the newest products and services that are shaping the future of convenience, car wash and gas, in a post-pandemic world (see source).

Every year, more and more Canadians are choosing electronic payments to replace their current payment method (see source). A growing number of customers are looking for smart and simple ways to transact. That’s where we come in. PaySimply is a turn-key solution to help municipalities to accommodate these payment needs. PaySimply is an online bill payment service offering municipalities a no-fee way to accept payments for property taxes and municipal services.

Mobile and app-based banking continues it’s ascent with over 23% of the Canadian population reporting to prefer app-based banking (see source). Traditional apps help you keep on top of your day-to-day transactions, but they don’t help you manage your tax payments. We noticed this gap and responded by launching the PaySimply mobile app. 

The retail environment is always changing as new technology emerges, and new payment methods are offered, which makes a POS (point of sale) system that much more important to a retailer’s store’s success. A POS system not only makes processing transactions easier, it also stores valuable information, such as product inventory, pricing, and all sales data. It also can make or break the shopping experience at your store because when the payment processing time is slow, it can result in the loss of customers. That is why it is important to have the most up to date POS system to provide a seamless shopping experience.

They say improving the way people make payments can contribute to better government efficiency and supports economic activity (see source). And yet, residents are still limited in how they can make these payments. Financial inclusion is important, yet not always easy to achieve. That’s where we come in.
