Instabill has partnered with a new acquiring bank to offer additional domestic ACH payments and direct debit solutions for high risk industries, CEO Jason Field announced Thursday. Through this partnership, Instabill has significantly broadened its breadth of payment service options to high and low risk merchants.
The timing of the partnership couldn’t be better. According to a recent whitepaper released by PaymentEye, direct debit transactions, which numbered 3.4 billion in 2013, are expected to increase to 4.2 billion in 2022.
Subscription Services, Collections among ACH Industries
With the partnership, Instabill has more merchant account options for high risk industries such as subscription services, memberships and collections – medical and debt.
“The unique part of this solution is that this banking partner does direct debit transactions as well,” said Wendy Jacques, Instabill Sales Manager. “We have always had ACH payment solutions, but this gives us another alternative for ACH and debit-only transactions. ACH processing is also an attractive offering for merchants with imperfect credit.”
More Banking Partnerships Expected
Instabill’s new partnership for domestic ACH payments and direct debit solutions is consistent with its mission: To increase its menu of payment options to merchants and partners. Instabill partnered with four acquiring banks in 2015, and is expected to link with more within Q1 and 2 of 2016.
