About Payble Payble is the new benchmark for reducing billxiety, the avoidable feeling of distress and anxiety caused by a bad billing or payment experience. We increase revenue for businesses, by offering their customers friendly, flexible payment options when they want or need them. Our platform leverages Open Banking to identify consumers who would benefit from flexible payment options (including consumers at risk of missing a payment), and engages them with a flexible solution like instalment plans, payment extensions or Covid relief. Payble’s proactive approach improves customer satisfaction with billers and significantly reduces 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.
