FirstPay is a web-based payment platform that is designed and developed to allow our valuable clients directly effect payment instructions from their offices anytime in a very secure and efficient manner. Because it is available over the web, payments and authorizations can be done regardless of location, as long as there is internet connectivity.
Features:
The solution is most suitable for clients who carry out bulk payments against their accounts in form of Salary Payment, Vendor/Supplier Payment, e-Dividend, Pensions, etc regardless of account bank. It gives the corporate the power to execute their payment instructions without first sending a physical instruction to the bank and waiting for the bank to effect the instructions.
FirstPay allows the initiation of an instruction by uploading the instruction in an approved file format. Following the upload, the transaction authorizer is notified by e-mail and/or SMS with the payment authorization code which enables the authorizer approve payments, with corresponding debit and credit entries passed automatically.
