The platform leverages Open Banking to identify customers who'd benefit from flexible payment options (including those in arrears or at risk of missing a payment), and engages them with a flexible solution like instalment plans, payment extensions or covid relief. Payble easily adds-on to existing billing systems, and our proactive approach improves customer satisfaction while significantly reducing the admin and operational cost of collections.Payble was the first payments company to be accredited and active in Australia’s open banking regime, the Consumer Data Right, and is backed by the Commonwealth Bank as a major shareholder.
