Modern payments for telecom and 5G services

Accept, protect, and optimize payments for every plan, device, and digital service, across online, in-app, contact center, and in-person channels.

Solutions

Payments that keep your network revenue flowing

Bring payments into the heart of your telecom revenue stack. Unify card, ACH, and digital wallet payments on a single platform, integrated with leading billing and CX solutions.

Make it easy to pay for every line, device, and add-on

Accept payments wherever telecom customers choose to engage:

  • Offer seamless omnichannel payments: on your website, in-app, in-person, and via IVR.

  • Accept preferred payment methods: Let customers pay how they want. Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal are available.

  • Design journeys: Integrate payments with our billing and CX solutions.

Fight fraud and reduce risk without slowing payments

Use CSG PaymentsProtection.ai to safeguard customer and partner payments from account takeover, card testing, and more:

  • Apply AI-powered fraud detection: Adaptive models and rules fight new fraud patterns.

  • Cover more payment types and channels: Protect digital, mobile, and assisted channels.

  • Minimize false positives: Stop bad transactions and keep good customers moving.

  • Compliance and audit readiness: Combine fraud controls with PCI-compliant infrastructure.

Turn billing events into predictable cash flow

Streamline how you collect, reconcile, and report on telecom payments:

  • Digitize billing and collections: offer digital experiences to accelerate time to cash.

  • Use smart retries and reminders: when cards expire, payments fail, or balances come due.

  • Simplify reconciliation across channels: get a single view of payments across channels.

  • Clean payment data: better billing and revenue management starts with feeding reliable data into systems.

Connect payments without replacing core systems

Fit payments into the telecom environments you already run:

  • Integrate with the top billing platform: Connect payments to telecom workflows and customer records on CSG Ascendon.

  • Use flexible integration methods: Support REST APIs, webhooks and batch processing.

  • Work alongside existing systems: Add payment capabilities without replacing core telecom platforms.

  • Sync payment events and statuses: Share updates across billing, CX, and revenue operations tools.

Keep subscribers active when payments fail

Use automated recovery and flexible payment options to protect recurring revenue:

  • Simplify recurring payments and autopay: Improve on-time payments and retention.

  • Refresh stored card credentials automatically: Trigger Account Updater when saved cards expire or change.

  • Recover returned ACH payments intelligently: Re-present eligible ACH transactions through Direct Recovery within Nacha guidelines.

  • Support flexible payment options: Offer autopay enrollment, scheduled payments, partial payments, and overpayments.

  • Reduce involuntary churn: Recover more revenue before failed payments lead to service disruption.
