Why Software Platforms Are Outsourcing Payment Facilitation  & Compliance Support 

Posted on June 19, 2024

As your SaaS business scales, managing payments and onboarding customers becomes increasingly complex. Integrating new systems, ensuring security, and controlling costs can overwhelm your team, diverting attention from growth-focused initiatives.

VoPay tackles these challenges with its Fintech-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform, automating payment processing and onboarding so you can focus on what matters most—growing your business faster and more efficiently.

Tackling Integration and Legacy System Challenges

As your enterprise grows, integrating new payment systems into an existing infrastructure—especially older systems—can become difficult. This often leads to increased operational costs and delays in launching new services.

By outsourcing to VoPay, you bypass the need for large internal teams focused on maintaining payment infrastructure, resolving integration issues, and staying on top of compliance updates. VoPay takes care of it all, reducing downtime and minimizing disruptions during system upgrades.

The Advantage

VoPay integrates with your existing systems in as little as three to four weeks, depending on the complexity of your infrastructure. This allows you to add payment methods like EFT, ACH, Interac e-Transfer®, and real-time payments without the need for custom development.

How This Helps Your Platform:

  • Ongoing Maintenance and Support: VoPay handles all updates, bug fixes, and optimizations, so your team doesn’t need to worry about maintaining the payment infrastructure.
  • Faster Time to Market: With VoPay’s pre-built solutions, you can introduce new payment methods or launch in new regions much faster than developing in-house systems.
  • Scalability: As your business grows, VoPay’s platform grows with you, handling increased transaction volumes without performance issues or system overhauls.
  • Reduced Development Costs: VoPay’s ready-made platform saves you from investing in building, maintaining, and upgrading your own system, offering significant cost savings over time.

With VoPay handling the complexities of payment infrastructure, your team can stay focused on growing your business and delivering a better customer experience.

Simplifying Compliance and Underwriting Processes for Faster Onboarding 

Staying compliant with regulations like PCI DSS, GDPR, and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is a constant challenge for SaaS platforms, particularly when expanding into new markets or handling cross-border transactions. Keeping up with evolving regulatory requirements can be overwhelming, and manual compliance and onboarding processes often result in errors, delays, and missed opportunities for customer onboarding.

Why Outsource  

Compliance and onboarding demand specialized knowledge, time, and resources. Your internal teams need to stay updated on regulations across multiple regions, which drains resources and slows down operations. Manual onboarding also increases the risk of mistakes, leading to non-compliance and potential penalties.

Outsourcing to VoPay not only saves you time but also minimizes errors by automating your compliance processes. We manage everything—from KYC (Know Your Customer) checks to AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screenings—ensuring your business remains compliant with both local and international regulations without placing additional burdens on your team.

For businesses seeking more specialized compliance support, VoPay offers a flexible Compliance-as-a-Service option. This solution is particularly beneficial for companies with existing payment infrastructures that require expert guidance to navigate the complex regulatory landscape effectively.

What This Means For Your Solution:

  • Real-Time Monitoring: VoPay’s system stays current with evolving regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance and penalties.
  • Faster Approvals: Automated KYC/KYB checks speed up onboarding, cutting approval times from days to hours.
  • Reduced Errors: Automation eliminates manual mistakes, ensuring compliance accuracy.
  • Complete Compliance Management: VoPay handles everything from identity verification to AML checks, ensuring your business stays protected.
  • Scalable and Flexible: VoPay’s platform grows with your business, whether you need full onboarding management or targeted compliance support.

Ensuring Security and Fraud Protection

For organizations handling sensitive financial data, a security breach can result in major financial losses, reputational damage, and legal penalties. As cyberattacks and fraud schemes grow more sophisticated, basic security measures are no longer enough. Effective fraud prevention and data protection require advanced security systems, real-time monitoring, and strict compliance with both global and regional regulations.

Why Outsource

Managing security in-house can be quite a challenge. It often requires a hefty investment, ongoing updates, and a solid understanding of both global and Canadian regulations. If you're running a SaaS platform that deals with sensitive financial data, you’ll need to meet standards like PCI DSS for credit card payments and GDPR for handling personal data from the EU. Plus, many businesses opt for SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits to show that they have strong security controls in place.

If your SaaS platform operates in the financial sector, you also have to keep up with specific Canadian regulations like FINTRAC and Payments Canada Legislation to prevent money laundering and ensure secure transactions. This is where outsourcing to a provider like VoPay can really help. We take on those burdens for you, offering a reliable solution that manages both security and compliance, so you can focus on what you do best.

The Benefits

VoPay offers advanced security features, including bank-grade encryption, tokenization, and real-time fraud monitoring, ensuring your financial data is secure in transit and at rest. Our proactive fraud detection system quickly identifies and addresses threats, helping you avoid financial losses and reputational damage.

VoPay is fully compliant with Canadian regulations like Payments Canada Legislation and FINTRAC, as well as global standards like SOC 1 and SOC 2. This ensures your business meets all legal requirements for payment processing and fraud prevention, without the need to manage compliance in-house.

What This Means For Your Solution:

  • Proactive Fraud Prevention: VoPay’s real-time monitoring detects and stops fraudulent activities as they happen, protecting your business from financial and reputational risks.
  • Compliance with Global and Canadian Standards: VoPay ensures your platform meets all key security standards, including SOC 1, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, FINTRAC, and Payments Canada Legislation, so you stay compliant without the operational burden.
  • Staying Ahead of Threats: VoPay’s fraud detection systems are constantly updated to keep pace with new and emerging threats, ensuring your business stays protected as risks evolve.
  • Reduced Operational Overhead: By outsourcing your security and compliance needs to VoPay, you free up internal resources and avoid the significant costs of maintaining in-house security teams and constantly upgrading your systems.

Lowering Costs and Automating Processes

Managing large volumes of payments, especially for subscription-based businesses, can quickly become costly and time-consuming. Manual processes for billing, reconciliation, and tracking payments not only take up valuable time but also increase the risk of errors and delays, which can hurt profitability as your payment volume grows.

Why Outsource

Building and maintaining an internal payment system requires significant upfront development costs, as well as ongoing resources for updates and regulatory compliance. By outsourcing to VoPay, you eliminate the need for a dedicated internal team and reduce operational complexity. VoPay’s platform automates payment processes, streamlining operations and reducing errors while freeing up your team to focus on growth.

Key Benefits

  • Automated Billing and Reconciliation: VoPay automates recurring billing and reconciles payments in real-time, ensuring accuracy and timeliness, which reduces the chance of missed or late payments and improves your cash flow.
  • Cost Efficiency: VoPay’s platform handles high-volume transactions efficiently, lowering transaction fees and avoiding the costs of building and maintaining a payment system in-house.
  • Seamless Scalability: As your business grows, VoPay scales with you, managing increased transaction volumes without adding complexity or additional infrastructure costs.
  • Hassle-Free Maintenance: VoPay continuously updates and optimizes the platform, meaning you never have to worry about system maintenance or keeping up with compliance changes.

What This Means for Your Business:

VoPay’s automation ensures that payments are processed smoothly and accurately, eliminating costly manual errors and speeding up reconciliation times. With automated processes in place, your cash flow improves, and you reduce the operational burden on your team, allowing you to focus on growing your business instead of managing payment logistics.

Enabling Cross-Border Payments for Global Expansion 

As your SaaS platform grows globally, managing cross-border payments can feel like a headache. Multiple currencies, tricky regulations, and juggling different payment systems often slow down your international expansion and complicate day-to-day operations.

Why Outsource

Handling cross-border payments means dealing with payment methods and regulations that vary from country to country. Trying to manage this internally can eat up your resources and lead to delays. Without a unified solution, costs go up, and processing payments becomes inefficient.

How VoPay Helps

VoPay simplifies this by partnering with Mastercard and Cross River. With VoPay, you can send money instantly to credit cards, bank accounts, and digital wallets—whether it’s a local or international payment. The Mastercard Network ensures your payments are fast, secure, and reliable, while Cross River opens up access to key payment systems like ACH, Same-Day ACH, and Real-Time Payments (RTP®).

With these partnerships, VoPay provides a single solution for all your cross-border payment needs. You’ll save time, avoid the hassle of multiple systems, and stay on top of compliance, making international payments feel as seamless as local ones.

What This Means for You:

  • Global Compliance Made Simple: VoPay ensures your payments meet all local and international rules, so you don’t have to worry about navigating compliance for each country.
  • Faster Payments: Payments get processed quicker, improving your cash flow and keeping customers happy.
  • Handle Multiple Currencies Easily: VoPay takes care of payments in both U.S. and Canadian currencies, so currency conversion is a breeze without extra systems.
  • Consistent Branding: With VoPay’s white-label solution, you can keep your brand front and center, providing a seamless experience for your customers worldwide.
  • Lower Costs: VoPay simplifies global payments by bringing everything into one platform, cutting down on fees and admin costs.
