Enterprise-Grade Security Architecture

Our IVR payment solutions are built on PCI DSS Level 1 certified infrastructure, ensuring the highest level of payment security available.

Data Never Enters Your Environment

Card data is captured, encrypted, and processed entirely within Paytia's PCI-certified infrastructure. Your systems never see, store, or transmit sensitive payment information.

DTMF Masking at Source

Touchtone signals are intercepted and replaced before they reach your telephony system. Even if call recordings are compromised, no card data can be extracted.

End-to-End Encryption

All payment data is encrypted using bank-grade TLS encryption from the moment it is captured through to final processing with your payment gateway.

Reduce Costs Across the Board

Staffing Costs

Automate routine payment calls that currently require agent time. Free your team to focus on complex enquiries and sales.

Compliance Costs

Reduce PCI DSS compliance from SAQ D (329 questions) to SAQ A (22 questions). Cut annual audit and assessment costs by 87%.

Training Costs

Automated systems require no payment-specific staff training. New team members are productive immediately without compliance training.

Infrastructure Costs

No secure rooms, no dedicated payment terminals, no special network segregation. Works with your existing telephony infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are 24x7 automated IVR payments and how do they work?
24x7 automated IVR payments are self-service payment systems that operate around the clock, allowing customers to make payments at any time through an interactive voice response (IVR) system. Customers call a dedicated number, follow automated prompts, enter their payment details using their phone keypad, and complete transactions without requiring agent assistance. The system processes payments securely and provides immediate confirmation.
How does DTMF masking enhance payment security?
DTMF masking intercepts the touchtone signals when customers enter their card details. These tones are replaced with flat tones, ensuring sensitive card data never reaches your call centre environment or recordings. This significantly reduces your PCI DSS compliance scope.
Can IVR payment solutions integrate with existing systems?
Yes, Paytia IVR solutions integrate seamlessly with existing systems including CRM platforms, payment processors, telephony systems, and ERP software. Standard API connections are available and can be customised to your requirements.
How quickly can an IVR payment solution be implemented?
Paytia's standard AutoPay IVR can be deployed in days, while fully customised IVR solutions usually take 2-6 weeks, depending on workflow complexity, integration needs, and any special feature configurations.
What PCI DSS compliance level can we achieve?
By implementing Paytia IVR, your organisation can typically qualify for SAQ A (22 questions) instead of SAQ D (329 questions). This drastically reduces your compliance burden since card data never enters your environment.
Can customers still speak with agents during the payment process?
Yes. You can choose fully automated payments with no agent involved, or an agent-assisted model where the agent remains on the call but is removed from the payment process when sensitive data is being entered.
Is there a limit to payment volumes?
No. Our IVR solutions are built on scalable infrastructure that handles virtually unlimited transaction volumes. The system maintains consistent performance whether processing dozens or thousands of payments daily.
How do customers receive payment confirmations?
Customers receive immediate verbal confirmation during the call with a unique confirmation number. They can also opt to receive confirmation via email or SMS. The system integrates with your existing notification systems.
What is an IVR over-the-phone payment?
An IVR payment allows the customer to make safe phone payments without the assistance of an agent. Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is an automated technology that takes the user through prompts using their phone keypad (DTMF). Paytia offers a 24x7 IVR service providing a seamless phone payment experience, enabling customers to pay bills or make partial or recurring payments at any time.
What is the IVR payment flow?
The IVR payment flow consists of: entering account or reference details to identify the customer, entering the payment amount using the phone keypad, securely entering card details with DTMF masking, verification of the payment method and amount, and real-time payment processing with instant confirmation sent via email, SMS, or voice. Optional features include partial payments, repeat payments, and recurring billing.
Can IVR handle recurring payments?
Yes. Paytia accepts tokenisation with recurring payments and repeat transactions, enabling a company to automate its payments at a safe level. It decreases manual interactions and offers customers a certain and comfortable timeline of subscription or payment.
Do customers need an internet connection?
No. Payments are completed entirely over the phone via the IVR system. Customers can securely enter card details using the keypad, making the service accessible without internet or mobile data.
Can IVR integrate with existing CRM or billing systems?
Yes. Paytia offers webhooks and database integration, enabling real-time synchronisation of payment data, automated workflow triggers, and consistent updates to internal CRM or billing systems without manual intervention.
Can IVR payments support partial or split payments?
Yes. Paytia allows customers to make partial payments or follow pre-defined payment plans, automatically updating account balances in real-time and ensuring accurate tracking of remaining amounts owed.
Is multilingual support available?
Yes. Paytia supports different languages in the IVR system, which means the platform can be used across a variety of customer groups, enhancing usability and satisfaction for businesses with UK and international clients.
