Experian Payments offers payments solutions to assist with the challenges facing the utilities industry. Improving profitability at a time where customer movement in some sectors has been as high as 30 per cent a year, it is crucial not only to win new customers, but to retain the loyalty of existing ones.
Improving profitability through accurate payment details
Utilities providers are investing heavily in the technology and marketing to drive more customers online.
In order to complete the online (unmanned) customer acquisition process however, it is critical that:
- internal processes are fast and secure
- applicant payment details are accurate
- applicant payment details can be processed
- rejected payments are minimised (as they may cause drop-off in the acquisition process)
Through market leading validation on Direct Debits, Faster Payments and Direct Credit (UK and international cross border), Experian Payments can significantly improve Straight-Through-Processing rates, directly impacting your customer service, reliability and security.
