PAYPOINT:SERVING THE TELECOMS AND MEDIA SECTORS
Telecoms

PayPoint dominates cash payment services in the convenience retail sector for fixed-line telephony, cable, TV Licensing and TV rental. Using its proven barcode and magnetic swipe card terminal technologies, it provides a wide range of schemes that have become the preferred choice of clients and customers in these sectors for convenient cash payment.

Not only can PayPoint provide ‘off-line’ schemes for budget card or regular barcoded bill payment where transaction data is polled nightly and used to update customers’ accounts the following day, it also offers ‘on-line’ technology for pre-payment schemes such as BT’s Pay & Call. This applies similar technology to that developed for the pre-pay mobile phone market to fixed-line or other forms of non-mobile telephony.

In the telecom sector, BT customers can also use their Payment Cards or pay quarterly bills at PayPoint outlets, as can those of Kingston Communications in the Hull area. However, PayPoint is the cash bill payment channel of choice for cable network operators Virgin Media and their customers. Boxclever and Martin Dawes customers can also make their TV and other home appliance rental payments at PayPoint outlets.

TV Licence holders can now renew all classes of licence at PayPoint outlets. PayPoint also accepts regular payments from other TV Licensing customers issued with special payment cards.  In addition, PayPoint has now been awarded a six year contract by the BBC as sole provider for the collection of over-the-counter TV Licensing payments.
