Banks & Financial Institutions

Payment partnerships, loan repayment technology, and lending programs that extend what your institution can offer.

A Different Kind of Payment Partner for Financial Institutions

Disruptive Payments works with banks and credit unions in ways that go beyond traditional merchant services. We serve as a strategic payment partner across three distinct areas where financial institutions can expand their capabilities, reduce operational burden, and create new revenue opportunities.

High-Risk Merchant Partnerships

Many banks are unable or unwilling to provide merchant services to businesses in high risk industries. Rather than turning these customers away, financial institutions can partner with Disruptive Payments to serve those merchants. We handle the underwriting, compliance, and processing while your institution maintains the relationship.

Loan Repayment Technology

Loan collection is one of the most labor intensive processes in banking. Disruptive Payments brings MessagePay, an SMS loan repayment platform, to financial institutions looking to dramatically improve collection rates, reduce call center volume, and increase member satisfaction.

Extended Lending Partnerships

When your institution reaches the limits of its lending capacity or credit criteria, Disruptive Payments can extend that capability. Our lending programs operate outside traditional bank constraints, allowing you to serve clients who fall just beyond your parameters - and share in the P&L on those opportunities.

MessagePay - SMS Loan Repayment Technology

MessagePay is a loan repayment platform that allows borrowers to make payments via a simple text message - no logins, no phone calls, no friction. Borrowers receive a personalized SMS reminder with an individualized payment link. If their payment method is on file, they respond with a single word and the payment posts to their account in real time.

Financial institutions using MessagePay shift from a reactive collections model to a proactive one, reaching borrowers days before a payment is due rather than after it is missed. The result is fewer delinquencies, a dramatically reduced call center burden, and a better experience for borrowers.

Proven Results: MessagePay in Action

Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU), a $1.2 billion institution serving over 75,000 members, implemented MessagePay to address the burden of manual loan collections. Their results were transformational.

733%
Increase in annual loan payments
88%
Of payments now self served, up from 20%
89%
Reduction in late payments

LAFCU went from approximately 3,000 loan payments annually to over 25,000 per year. Despite the massive increase in payment volume, call center traffic actually decreased by approximately 6,000 calls, freeing staff to focus on higher value member interactions like loan applications and account openings.

"If there's one trick up your sleeve, if there's one automation, one product, one vendor, one solution, or one strategy that will help your organization in collections and you don't know one to use, I'm going to give you a very powerful one: It's called MessagePay."

Art Sookazian, Vice President of Special Services and Risk Management, Los Angeles Federal Credit Union

"It hits the main points: it posts in real time, and members can text the payment. So they're actually responding to a text message with one word, and boom, the payment hits their loan in real time. That kind of sophistication is huge."
