Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment
PS-EBPP
ProgressSoft’s Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment is an advanced digital solution that offers real-time presentment of bill content and payment choices for billers to electronically submit their bills, and end users to settle them.

Features
Centralized Services
PS-EBPP offers a centralized bill presentment and payment channel that enables end users to retrieve due bills from different billers through one secure electronic channel published by financial institutions via their online channels.
Versatile Presentment and Payment Options
PS-EBPP supports full and partial payments as well as payment advice from other systems at the regulatory body. It seamlessly connects with multiple channels including Automated Clearing House (ACH), Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and other payments, clearing or settlement solutions.

More features
Superior Management
PS-EBPP empowers the regulatory body hosting the system with the capability to manage participant billers and financial institutions, apply rules, limits, mandates and charges configuration, in addition to generating statistical and transactional reports.
Flexible Bill Presentment
PS-EBPP enables billers to submit their bills to the system once they are issued or retain and submit bills once instructed by an end user. Financial institutions are also provided with this capability on behalf of indirect billers.
Intelligent Bill Presentment
PS-EBPP is designed with the capability to support both one-time and recurring bills, as well as automatically search and provide them to the instructing financial institution’s online channel in real-time.
Open Application Programming Interfaces

Connected Participants
PS-EBPP connects multiple participants in the bill payments cycle including billers that issue and submit bills, financial institutions that retrieve bill information and present them to end users, and the regulatory body or operator responsible for managing system settings and definitions.
Valuable Modules

Centralized Profiles
PS-EBPP provides end users with the flexibility to register and manage their bills in one centralized platform. As such, end users can access their bills, which are already defined in the system, from different financial institutions.
