Simplifying & Securing Contact Center Payments
Your contact center has become pivotal in how you connect with your citizens and a gateway to many of the services you provide. As part of these interactions, you often must take a payment, and it is essential that you make these transactions frictionless, secure, and PCI DSS compliant.
You need a secure payment solution that is accessible to all demographics, enables a seamless payment experience, and can operate not just across the phone but also the digital channels you are introducing. Key objectives should include:

A Payment Process Accessible to All Citizens
As a public sector organization, your citizens span all demographics. As such, you need to be able to cater to all needs and preferences when taking payments from them.
With PCI Pal, you can enable your contact center to take payments in a secure and effortless manner. We allow your citizens to use their phone keypad to enter their payment details, or to use advanced speech recognition technology to enable them to speak their details. We accelerate your digital-first approach by supporting payments over chat, SMS, and email and also offer a fully self-service option with IVR.
Simplifying the Agent Experience
Your agents have enough to do without adding a complex payment process for them to follow. You need to protect your agents and provide them with a streamlined and intuitive solution.
PCI Pal simplifies the agent’s experience by making payments a seamless part of their interaction with the citizen. Our intuitive interface enables them to guide the citizen through every step of the payment process, clearly seeing progress in real-time and enabling them to focus on the conversation and not the process. By making the experience effortless for the citizen, we improve the experience for the agent.

As a public sector organization, your citizens need to trust that you are keeping their sensitive payment information secure and are following best practices.
With PCI Pal, no sensitive payment information is captured or held in your systems, and payments are managed by our PCI DSS compliant solution. This takes the pressure off your agents, regardless of whether they are working in a center or at home, and instills trust with your citizens.
