Inside allpay’s game-changing partnerships.
We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Mary Cotton, Deputy Managing Director at allpay, to discuss our latest ground-breaking partnership with Enfuce. This collaboration, announced earlier this year, marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to revolutionise payment solutions for the UK public sector.
Our partnership with Enfuce was established to leverage their advanced technology and expertise in secure cloud-based card payment solutions. Enfuce, a leader in issuer processing, brings a wealth of experience in managing complex payment systems with high standards of security and efficiency. By integrating their cutting-edge platform with our own extensive experience in providing payment solutions, we aim to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of disbursements across various public sector services.
In this Q&A, Mary Cotton sheds light on the strategic significance of this partnership and how it aligns with allpay’s mission to improve public sector services.
💡 Mary, let's talk about the partnership with Enfuce. How does this collaboration fit into allpay’s strategy for the public sector?
Working alongside Enfuce is another strategic move for us, aimed at enhancing the security and reliability of our prepaid services for the UK public sector. Given the significant challenges the public sector faces with fraud and error—costing billions annually—this collaboration couldn’t be more timely. Enfuce is fast becoming a leading name as an issuer/processor and they understand what we need from them as an essential part of allpay’s current product set and what we are developing for the future.
💡 What specific advantages does Enfuce bring to the table?
Enfuce’s state-of-the-art platform is integral to our approach. We’ll be integrating advanced fraud prevention and dispute management systems into our solutions, ensuring that public sector payments are not only secure but also highly efficient. With 24/7 monitoring and a 99.999% uptime guarantee, this collaboration is set to create a robust and reliable environment for managing public funds. Ultimately, this benefits local communities by ensuring that public funds are managed securely and efficiently. Enfuce also has experience of a similar sector to ours in Europe. This means they have true insight into understanding the impact of service interruption or system defects which is why they guarantee that impressive system uptime. With that level of confidence in their own technology, our partnership with Enfuce is built on some great foundations.
💡 How will this partnership enhance allpay's ability to respond to the unique needs of local authorities across the UK?
Local authorities have very specific requirements when it comes to managing public funds, and they often face tight budgets and the need for rapid, reliable services. Through our partnership with Enfuce, we’re able to offer tailored payment solutions that address these challenges directly. For instance, the flexibility of Enfuce’s platform allows us to customise our offerings to meet the diverse needs of various councils, whether that’s in terms of scale, security, or specific service features. This means local authorities can expect faster deployment of payment solutions, better fraud protection, and more efficient fund management, which in turn allows them to focus more on delivering essential services to their communities.
💡 How does this partnership reflect allpay's broader mission?
Our collaboration with Enfuce and other partners really exemplifies our dedication to leveraging technology to improve public sector services. By combining our extensive market experience with our partners’ technological prowess that matches our own, we’re paving the way for a future where payments in the public sector are secure, efficient, and fraud-resistant. Building end-to-end solutions for our current market and for our future growth depends on partnering with ‘best fit’ as well as ‘best of breed’. We truly feel we have done that in embarking on new key partnerships with Enfuce and others to be announced shortly.
