Online Payment Services

With our easy-to-use portal, payers can store methods, check real‑time balances, view bills and histories, schedule or automate payments, and receive messages — all within a branded experience that mirrors your website. Behind the scenes, payments from every channel consolidate into the online portal for one view, one deposit, and automatic posting to your software. PSN continuously updates technology and security, and the standard service includes mobile access without added development or maintenance.

  • 24/7 self‑service with stored methods, real‑time balances, and bill history to reduce call volumes
  • Consolidated payments, single deposit, and automatic posting to your software saving time and reducing manual input errors
  • Branded portal experience with ongoing technology and security upgrades

IVR/Automated Phone

Give customers a convenient, secure way to pay when they lack internet access or simply prefer the phone. Choose from three customizable options to meet your needs. Payments made through IVR post automatically to your software and are visible in real time, right alongside online payments. There are no per‑minute charges; transaction fees cover call duration. Because PSN hosts and maintains the system, you avoid equipment costs and upkeep.

  • Phone payments post automatically and appear in real time with other channels
  • No per‑minute charges; PSN hosts and maintains the IVR platform
  • Option to route to a live CSR for assisted payments or help

Call Center

When customers want human help, PSN’s Call Center offers friendly, knowledgeable support to take payments and answer questions. English‑ and Spanish‑speaking representatives assist with tasks like setting up AutoPay and refund requests. Payments accepted by the Call Center are consolidated with other PSN channels for one deposit, simplified reconciliation, and automatic posting to your software. Costs are covered through transaction fees rather than per‑minute charges, giving you predictable expense management while ensuring customers receive the personal service they prefer without burdening your staff with additional calls.

  • Consolidated deposits and automatic posting reduce manual work and errors
  • Transaction fees cover call duration — no per‑minute charges
  • Reduce calls to your staff; the PSN Call Center handles all customer questions regarding payments

Terminal

Card‑present terminals make in‑person payments fast, secure, and convenient. Staff can see a customer’s current balance, accept debit or credit, and print receipts on the spot — ideal for counter service or field collections using a mobile swipe solution. Transactions flow into the PSN system in real time, consolidate for one deposit, and auto‑post to your software to cut manual entry and errors. EMV chip readers help you meet current PCI rules and shift liability to the card networks, letting you serve walk‑in payers without compromising security or adding unnecessary back‑office workload.

  • EMV‑enabled terminals for secure, compliant card‑present acceptance
  • Real‑time visibility, one deposit, and automatic posting to your software
  • Supports counter and field payments with receipt printing

Virtual

With PSN’s Virtual Terminal, any authorized staff member can take a payment by phone or at the counter using only a web browser. Enter checking, savings, credit, or debit details to create a one‑time ePayment or set Auto‑Pay for future convenience. It’s ideal where volume doesn’t justify dedicated hardware, and it can convert paper checks to ePayments to speed deposits. Data is stored on the PSN system to reduce PCI scope, and call‑in and counter payments consolidate with other PSN channels for one deposit, streamlined reconciliation, and optional automatic posting that eliminates manual entry issues.

  • Accept phone/counter payments via browser; set one‑time or Auto‑Pay
  • Convert paper checks to ePayments to accelerate deposits
  • Reduce PCI scope; consolidate deposits and auto‑post to your software

Bank-Issued

Customers often pay through their bank’s bill‑pay service, but those transactions can create delays and manual work. PSN converts the vast majority of bank‑issued payments to electronic ePayments for faster funds availability and automated posting. Bank payments flow into the PSN system in real time, consolidate with other channels for one deposit and reconciliation, and enhance the customer experience by supporting the way they already prefer to pay. Reduce back‑office effort and processing expense while improving cash flow and visibility across your entire receivables operation.

  • Convert up to 99% of bank‑issued checks to ePayments
  • Real‑time visibility, single deposit, and automated posting
  • Support payer preferences while reducing manual processing

Methods

Choose the payment methods that fit your customers’ needs, then enable them across channels for a consistent experience. Accept major cards — Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express — plus digital wallets like PayPal and Venmo, electronic checks, and cash, with the option to convert paper items to ePayments for faster funds movement. Reduce collections by removing friction and offering customers more ways to pay on time. Consolidating these methods within PSN simplifies reporting and reconciliation, freeing staff to focus on higher‑value work rather than handling paper and managing disparate payment workflows.

  • Enable cards, ACH, savings, and cash — configured to your policies
  • Convert paper items to ePayments to move funds faster
  • Simplify reconciliation by consolidating methods across channels

Online Bills

Make it easy for customers to view and manage bills online and on mobile devices, reducing paper costs and supporting sustainability goals. Centralizing bill presentment and payment in one portal streamlines the experience and speeds cash flow. Customers receive email and SMS notices for bills due. And as more customers opt out of paper, you lower printing, postage, and equipment expenses and reduce inbound calls, because essential information is readily available whenever customers need it.

  • Self‑serve eBills with no special registration; view bills online and on mobile devices
  • One portal for bill presentment and payment to streamline the journey
  • Lower paper, printing, and postage while improving cash flow

Data Sharing

Share up‑to‑the‑minute balances and account information across online, mobile, text, and IVR, reducing customer dependence on paper statements and calls. Payments from any channel post electronically to your ledger via batch, real‑time, or tokenized integrations, cutting manual work and errors. The same data powers eBills and other customer experiences, ensuring consistency wherever customers engage. By automating posting and exposing accurate, timely information, reduce staff effort, speed exception handling, and improve collections.

  • Automate posting via batch, real‑time, or tokenization to cut errors

Standard reports include payments, deposits, declines, chargebacks, refunds, disputes, histories, and daily/monthly reconciliation, plus registered customers and eBill views and stats. You decide who receives which reports and how often — instant, daily, weekly, or monthly. Get one comprehensive set of data and only one reconciliation report for deposits handled through our partner bank, reducing effort while improving visibility and audit readiness across the organization.

  • Real‑time, configurable reports with delivery scheduling and Excel downloads
  • Single, consolidated dataset across all channels for one reconciliation report

Portals

Customers can pay the way they prefer — online, on a mobile device, phone, or text — while PSN consolidates information in the online portal for a consistent experience. Regardless of channel, customers can check status, review histories, and print receipts online. This flexibility improves satisfaction and on‑time payments without creating operational silos. Credentials and stored methods can be reused where desired, eliminating repeated entry. For your team, a single source of truth simplifies support and reduces friction when helping customers track or confirm a payment across devices.

Management

The PSN Account Management Center (AMC) centralizes administration and oversight. Configure access, schedule and deliver reports, upload or download data, perform quality checks, and reconcile payments and deposits from one place. It’s also a powerful tool for Customer Service teams who need quick visibility into account details. By bringing these capabilities together, the AMC eliminates the need to check multiple systems or vendors for status updates or documents. The result is faster answers, cleaner reconciliations, and tighter controls that keep electronic payment operations running smoothly and transparently across departments.

  • Centralized controls for access, reporting, data exchange, and reconciliation
  • One hub for CS teams to view customer and payment details quickly
  • Eliminates multi‑system lookups, speeding answers and audit

Outbound Auto‑Call Messaging reduces the time and cost of notifying customers about late payments, maintenance, and urgent issues. PSN delivers recorded messages at scale, and customers can “press 1” to pay immediately, turning reminders into same‑call collections that speed cash flow. There’s no hardware or software to install; service is activated by PSN, and unanswered calls don’t add cost. By automating outreach while preserving a path to instant payment, you cut printing and mailing expenses, free staff from manual calling, and ensure customers receive timely alerts during everyday situations and critical emergencies alike.

90+ Collaborations

We integrate our web-based solutions with over 90 software companies. The PSN system was designed to easily integrate with any software that can import and export customer data for the automated posting of payments and displaying amounts due online, among other data exchanges. Exchange of data between our systems range from batch to real-time to tokenization. Contact us to see if we have already integrated with your software. We also work with website builders and print/mail companies to provide seamless services, if needed.

Why it’s best to select a distinctive payment processor whose core business is electronic payments & billings

  1. If you change software systems, you will most likely not have to change your payment processor.
  2. Your customers won’t even know there was a change. They will retain their login credentials, 
    stored payment methods, payment and billing histories and all other information.
  3. Many software companies that have partnerships with payment processors offer significantly higher than market rates, combined with limited features, benefits, flexibility and support.
  4. Payment processors who are not software companies dedicate all of their financial and human resources to the development, maintenance and oversight of the system which houses your customers’ data and is responsible for your funds.
