Financial technology company FIS has partnered with software company Oracle to improve utility billing and payment processes.
The integration of FIS BillerIQ with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) aims to streamline electronic bill delivery and payments.
BillerIQ is designed to simplify and secure the acceptance of digital payments.
As a fully hosted SaaS platform, it enables businesses to issue bills and accept payments through multiple digital channels with a straightforward, configurable setup.
The BillerIQ solution on OCI offers a secure digital payment alternative to paper checks, which are still used by 75% of organisations.
It supports various payment methods, including ACH, credit, debit, Realtime Pay, and digital wallets, catering to the diverse financial needs of utility customers in sectors such as electricity, gas, and water.
