VANCOUVER–Central 1 announced the launch of Request Money integration into Central 1’s small business online invoicing and payments product. The integrated solution combines Central 1’s small business online invoicing service with Request Money into a single digital platform using Interac e-Transfer Request Money feature. Saskatchewan-based Synergy Credit Union is the first credit union to offer to the service to small business members.
“Central 1 is dedicated to putting our clients first by creating solutions that meet customers’ needs. For small businesses in particular, the timely collection of outstanding payments is crucial to their success,” said Randy Johal, Senior Product Manager at Central 1. “This integrated invoicing and payments solution leverages Interac e-Transfer Request Money, an enhanced user feature, combining two steps into one and, in turn, more quickly putting the hard earned money back into the pockets of small business owners.”
Using Interac e-Transfer Request Money feature means fewer fees than with traditional online payment solutions, by accessing funds directly from bank accounts and avoiding costly credit card fees.
“We’re always looking for ways to serve the growing small business community in the areas we serve. Through this exciting partnership with Central 1, we’re able to leverage innovative technology to provide our members with a more simple, streamlined and faster invoicing and payments experience,” said Trevor Beaton, Chief Innovation and People Officer at Synergy Credit Union. “Credit unions are already the financial institution of choice for small business owners, and Request Money integration with online invoicing stands to bring the community a tremendous amount of added value and efficiency.”
