Let’s delve into the intricacies of IMS Bulk Payment Service and how it can revolutionize payment processes for your organization:
1. Procurement of B2C Paybill
Acquiring a B2C paybill is the initial step in setting up the Bulk Payment Service. Clients have the option to apply directly to mobile operators or enlist IMS assistance. If opting for our support, the application process is streamlined, with IMS applying for a paybill linked to its bank account. This facilitates a seamless setup process, typically completed within 3-4 working days, provided all necessary documents are in order.
2. Setting Up of Paybill Users
Ensuring the security of payment transactions is paramount. IMS mandates a minimum of three users for the paybill setup, encompassing a paybill administrator, an initiator, and an approver. For automated payments, IMS can develop a customized API to facilitate recurring payments of specified amounts, further enhancing efficiency and convenience.
3. Funding of the B2C Paybill
To initiate payment disbursements, clients are required to fund the B2C paybill upfront. Upon receiving the total disbursement amount and transaction details from the client, IMS provides a quotation. Once funds are received, typically within 2 working days, they are promptly transferred to the paybill account, ensuring seamless fund availability for disbursements.
4. Receipt of List
Clients are tasked with providing a detailed list of recipients and corresponding payment amounts in Excel format. Accuracy is paramount to prevent erroneous payments. Therefore, clients must verify the validity and accuracy of provided phone numbers to mitigate any potential discrepancies.
5. Funds Disbursement
With the necessary details in hand, IMS swiftly initiates payment disbursements. For automated disbursements, where the paybill is readily available and the recipient list is provided, transactions are executed within 24 hours. Manual disbursements, involving lists shared via Excel, are processed diligently during regular working hours.
6. Reporting
Post-disbursement, clients receive comprehensive MPESA reports detailing transaction statuses. IMS promptly addresses and reprocesses any failed payments or reversals to ensure seamless payment execution and recipient satisfaction.
