OUTLINE
Business payments have evolved quickly in some areas, such as real-time payouts, embedded finance, better reporting but bill payments remain one of the most fragmented workflows in finance operations.
Many businesses still manage bill pay through a patchwork of bank portals, utility websites, insurer logins, and vendor-specific platforms. Each payee has different credentials, account formats, and payment steps. The cost isn’t just inconvenience: it shows up as late fees, missed payments, and hours of admin work every month.
That’s the problem VoPay Bill Payments is built to solve.
For most teams, bill payments aren’t a single workflow, they’re dozens of mini-workflows:
And while “late fees” vary by biller and province, regulators in some sectors explicitly allow late payment penalties — for example, the Ontario Energy Board notes electricity utilities can charge 1.5% per month as a late payment penalty (effective annual rate 19.56%). That’s why the real opportunity isn’t just paying bills faster, it’s reducing the operational risk and overhead tied to bill payments.
A modern bill payment experience shouldn’t live in a bank portal or a standalone tool. It should live inside the platform where financial activity already happens, and provide the controls and visibility finance teams actually need.
VoPay Bill Pay is a centralized bill payment experience that allows businesses to manage business bill payments through a single integrated workflow. It’s integrated into the VoPay Account Portal and is also offered as a white-label iFrame that can be embedded into other platforms.
With access to 10,980+ verified Canadian merchants spanning major utilities, telecom, financial institutions, government and municipal services, insurance providers, and many specialty merchants.
For teams managing a lot of recurring obligations, the biggest win is reducing friction:
This is especially relevant for industries where bill payments are constant and distributed:
“We’ve consistently heard from customers that bill payments are one of the most time-consuming parts of running finance operations — not because paying is hard, but because the workflow is fragmented. VoPay Bill Payments was built as an end-to-end bill pay solution for business payments: centralized merchant access, a clean user experience inside the portal, and the visibility teams need to reconcile confidently. We’re building this product directly from customer demand — to make bill payments dramatically more convenient for our users.”
