i-movo announce PayIN – a digital alternative to cheques

Share this post

Cost-effective, GDPR-compliant method free of paper, processing & postage

The i-movo PayIN service allows organisations to send payments, refunds or claims to individuals in the form of an i-movo Secure Digital Voucher. The payee receives their voucher by email or text message and deposits the value into their bank account by clicking a link on the voucher. The money arrives in their bank account within three days.

A unique feature of the service is that customers can choose to collect their payment in cash if they prefer, using i-movo’s well-established CashOUT service, from up to 62,000 UK retailers.

David Tymm, CEO at i-movo said, “While the majority of Organisation-to-Individual (O2i) payments are migrating to BACS and other direct-to-account methods, a significant minority of individuals are uncomfortable sharing their bank account details with third-parties for fear of where they may end up or having their account compromised.”

PayIN addresses this concern while giving individuals a convenient and secure method of banking payments. For organisations that otherwise issue cheques, PayIN is a cost-effective alternative free of paper, processing and postage.

In addition, many organisations that have retained individuals’ bank details for occasional payments are re-assessing this practice in the light of GDPR. PayIN removes the need to hold these details and with it, the compliance issues this poses.

The PayIN service is designed to be adopted easily by any organisation and is available immediately to all existing users of i-movo’s CashOUT service at no additional charge.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
