History
Founded as a division of Comcheq Services Limited in 1985, TelPay pioneered electronic bill payment services by providing Canadians with their very first telephone bill payment experience. W. H. (Bill) Loewen, the founder of Comcheq and Telpay notes,“it was Telpay that started electronic bill payment in 1985. In 1989 Telpay entered into an agreement with Canadian Imperial bamk of Commerce (CIBC) to operate our full bill payment system from an installation in London, Ontario. The trail project was so successful that by 1995 we were processing 250,000 payments a month.”Template:Http://paymentsystemreview.ca/wp-content/uploads/noid-Memo 4 -Who Needs Regulation.pdf As a quiet contributor to their success over the years, some of these companies went on to take the technology in-house. Telpay has continued to be a prime innovator in the electronic payments field.
Products
Over time, TelPay has developed software products which are designed to serve the needs of accountants, bookkeeper, SMEs, and financial institutions.
The primary product offering is a software program known as "TelPay for Business". The TelPay for Business software enables companies of any size to send electronic payments via its accounts payable module. By sending payments (bill payments, payroll, government remittances, etc.) electronically, companies can eliminate many of the expenses associated with cutting manual cheques. No more cheques, envelopes, postage, or reconciliation books. TelPay claims that 100 cheques per month can equal up to $1600 in savings per year. There is an online savings calculator on the site which will help one determine what your savings will be.
TelPay offers a service known as "Get Paid Faster" which is currently being trademarked for exclusive use by the company. Get Paid Faster is an electronic payment system which features the Get Paid Faster button which allows any business to receive electronic payments from their customer. The button is placed on invoices (electronic and paper)to enable businesses to be paid electronically.
TelPay for You is the electronic payments software which allows individuals to utilize this service to eliminate or reduce paper cheques, and associated banking charges. The reduced banking charges are possible because TelPay will consolidate payments into a single debit or credit.
