Looking Forward 2016

year-end-product-developments

In 2016, Telpay is working on several exciting payment products to meet the needs of both businesses and consumers. We expect them to be in operation during the first half of 2016.

Here is what is in development:

Consumer Payments to Utilities with Pay Now!™

As industry adoption of electronic billing increases, so does customer need for a more convenient method of paying those bills. Pay Now™ is Telpay’s patented answer to that need. Available on any email-enabled device, customers can pay their utility and service bills in as few as two clicks, making this the most convenient online bill payment option on the market.

Mobile Payment Solution for Business with Pay Now Plus!
Telpay is developing a new mobile payment solution for businesses that builds on the strength of our payment system. An extension of the Pay Now! offering to consumers, it will be attractive to small businesses that only require one signature for making payments. With very few keystrokes, payments can be made to any registered Telpay biller.

Telpay for Business (desktop version)

Telpay has been engaged in extensive upgrading of our systems, both internal and external. The internal changes will impact customers by providing up to the minute information regarding the status of their payments. We are also in dialogue with major financial institutions with regards to improving pre-funding lead times.

Telpay for Business Online
Telpay is developing an online payment solution to meet the needs of businesses using cloud-based accounting and payroll systems.

FinPay
The Finance Canada Payments Consultative Committee (FinPay) is a federal government forum made up of public and private sector representatives to discuss industry level developments in the Canadian payments system. Telpay is an active participant in these discussions and we are honored to be part of the process.

 

Watch for more announcements and updates in the coming months.

2015 Year End Checklist

yearend-checlist

As we find ourselves moving towards the end of 2015, there are dozens of tasks that need to be completed before year end. 

Here are a few ways that Telpay can help you scratch off items from your year-end checklist:

CRA
Did you know that your frequency to remit source deductions may change in the New Year, based on the dollar value of your payroll from the previous year?  You can view the CRA remittance thresholds and their due dates on the CRA website.

Employee Bonus Pay Outs
Send your employee bonuses electronically this year.  Follow our step by step instruction manual and make a convenient bonus deposit to your employees using our funds transfer feature.

Donations
Make your holiday donations with Telpay’s electronic payables feature.  Follow these steps to learn how you can set up and pay a charity electronically (and even receive a donation receipt) this holiday season.

Review your suppliers banking information
How many suppliers have you sent electronic payments to this year? It’s a good idea to plan ahead using our “notify your supplier” form to collect banking information for any new suppliers you plan to pay in 2016.

Make sure your account information is up to date
It is important that all your Telpay account information is up to date in the Telpay software.  Up to date information makes sure that you receive our service emails, invoices, and important product information.  We have summarized all the information that should be up to date, here.

Plan ahead
Are you considering making more electronic payments in 2016?  Resolve to make all your payments electronically in the new year.  Learn about the types of payments you can make with Telpay by joining a training webinar. Telpay’s training webinars cover a variety of payment topics, such as:  processing bill payments, government remittances including GST/HST, Workers Compensation,  payroll and payroll deductions, collection of rents,  international payments and payments from Canadian US$ Bank accounts.  Register for a webinar, today!

Happy New Year! Wishing you a joyful, healthy and prosperous 2016!
