Repay Holdings Corporation, a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, announced a partnership with Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, to enable REPAY merchants to accept cash payments at over 60,000 of Paysafe’s retail partner locations, including major convenience stores, dollar stores, and pharmacies across the United States.

“AS REPAY CONTINUES TO INNOVATE, WE AIM TO REDUCE THE FRICTION OF THE REPAYMENT PROCESS BY OFFERING CONVENIENT PAYMENT SOLUTIONS FOR LENDERS AND THEIR BORROWERS”

Leveraging Paysafe’s Paysafecash online cash, or eCash, solution, these cash transactions are recorded as real-time payments, adding even greater convenience to payers and expanding the capabilities of lenders and B2C companies to meet customer payment preferences.

The strategic partnership will complement REPAY’s suite of electronic payment solutions by offering cash as an online payment option through Paysafecash, enabling businesses, particularly lenders, to accept cash in any U.S. retail location that accepts Paysafe’s eCash product. Effectively, offering opportunities for payers to use eCash helps to bridge the gap between cash and online payments, particularly for the large number of unbanked and under-banked Americans today.

Consumers initiate the online cash payment by selecting Paysafecash at checkout. They then receive a unique barcode, which gets scanned at the payment location and settled in cash. Once the cash transaction is complete, the payment is posted and REPAY delivers the transaction details back to the merchant, seamlessly updating the consumer’s account with the most recent payment information. The money is subsequently deposited into the merchant’s bank account via ACH – and is not subject to chargebacks as other electronic payments may be.

“As REPAY continues to innovate, we aim to reduce the friction of the repayment process by offering convenient payment solutions for lenders and their borrowers,” said Susan Perlmutter, Chief Revenue Officer, REPAY. “Through our partnership with Paysafe, lenders on the REPAY platform will be able to accept cash within the REPAY ecosystem through the Paysafecash eCash solution, benefiting from real-time posting and streamlined reconciliation processes. Consumers can now easily access any Paysafe retail partner location and quickly pay their bill.”

Udo Müller, CEO of paysafecard, Paysafe’s eCash division, commented: “Over 60 million Americans are still underbanked, according to the Federal Reserve, so offering consumers a way to pay l**** and other bills via cash is essential in promoting financial inclusion. We understand how important it is to meet the payment preferences of the consumer, which are a critical aspect of the online transaction experience. We’re proud to partner with REPAY to enable lenders by equipping them with a cash payment option to meet the needs of their cash-reliant customers.”
