Payment solutions for debt collection agencies

How these solutions fit debt collection agencies

See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

High-Risk Merchant Account

For debt collection agencies: Present your model for permitted advisory fees and service charges to specialist processing partners, with product and fulfillment documentation prepared. Roots Payments places debt collection agencies with acquiring banks and processors that knowingly underwrite consumer and commercial debt payments, so the account is built to last instead of flagged after the first review. We work with virtually any legal business, subject to underwriting; pricing, limits, and terms depend on the acquirer's review. Reserves may apply, and any reserve is disclosed in your agreement before you sign.
  • Pre-underwriting review of your website, checkout, and documents (state collection licenses, FDCPA/Regulation F policies, and convenience-fee disclosures)
  • Application packaged and submitted only to acquirers with appetite for your category
  • Plain-English walkthrough of pricing, reserve, and termination terms before you sign

Text to Pay

For debt collection agencies: Send a payment request for permitted advisory fees and service charges by text so customers can pay against a specific order or invoice. Keying card numbers from phone calls is costly and dispute-prone for debt collection agencies. Text-to-pay sends a secure link so the customer enters their own card, with 3-D Secure and a stored consent record.
  • SMS opt-in and TCPA-aware messaging setup
  • Template copy for links and receipts
  • Integration with your CRM or case system

ACH Payments

For debt collection agencies: Offer bank-account payments for permitted advisory fees and service charges, with authorization and invoice matching built into the workflow. Bank payments give debt collection agencies a lower-cost option for larger tickets and a backup if card processing is reviewed. ACH has its own risk rules, including return-rate limits under Nacha, so it is underwritten separately.
  • ACH underwriting alongside your card account
  • Authorization language and receipt templates
  • Integration into invoices, checkout, or your CRM

Custom Payment Integration

For debt collection agencies: Connect the payment flow for permitted advisory fees and service charges with your software and the operational records behind engagement terms, fee schedules and client invoices. Debt collection agencies often run custom platforms that off-the-shelf plugins don't cover. Roots builds and maintains the integration between your platform and your approved gateway, including webhooks, reconciliation, and dispute data.
