An on-demand payment processor BillingTree Inc announced that Pulaski Electric System is implementing its new suite of mobile applications for electronic bill notification and payments via SMS/Text capable mobile devices.

BillingTree developed a solution for Pulsaki on the basis of Kaizen’s Kpay platform that allows SMS/Text bill notifications. The solution offers a seamless method for billers to notify their customers of a balance due then enables account holders to authorize payment from multiple pre-registered payment forms, including ACH, credit and debit accounts.

Additional components of BillingTree’s new Mobile Solutions Suite include small screen optimized payment forms for web enabled smartphones and tablets plus the ability to remotely fund pre-paid service accounts within BillingTree’s Pre-FundTM solution.

Pre-Fund, a BillingTree joint solution with Lightstorm Global offers billers a pre-paid alternative to extending short term credit for consumption based services such as utilities and elective healthcare. The mobile suite extends to web enabled mobile devices the ability for customers to set up and add funds into earmarked accounts in order to maintain necessary minimum available funds.

"Initially, I expected the 20-30 age group to sign up for the mobile program, but we had customers in their 50s and 60s signing up as well. It has been very well received by our customers. We publicized it through the radio and of our walk-ins the day of the launch, 30% signed up," stated Daryl Williamson Vice President of Customer Support at Pulaski Electric Systems. "At Pulaski, we provide every avenue possible for the customer to take care of business with 15% of customers accepting bill notifications via the web and 10% of them paying online. We anticipate similar results through the text program."
