Do you trust text-based payment systems to be more secure than traditional online payment methods?
SWIVEL has released PayPrompt Pro, a digital payments solution designed for financial institutions. The software introduces automated SMS payment reminders and a Reply-to-Pay feature that lets borrowers initiate transactions directly through text messages.
Why it matters
Financial institutions are deploying the tool to accelerate transaction reconciliation while simultaneously addressing borrower payment friction. The integration also aims to mitigate fraud risks inherent in traditional payment collection methods.
PayPrompt Pro utilizes native platform integration to embed directly within current financial institution systems. It employs white-labeled branding capabilities alongside deep-link payment experiences to facilitate immediate transaction confirmation.
The players
SWIVEL
A developer of digital financial technology focused on payment processing and borrower engagement platforms.
The details
The software functions by integrating into existing lender platforms to manage payment lifecycles. Borrowers receive automated SMS alerts and can execute payments via a Reply-to-Pay mechanism, where responding with a Y initiates the transaction. This workflow leverages deep-linking—a specialized URL structure that redirects users directly to a specific app or payment portal—to streamline the process and reduce manual entry errors.

Financial institutions can now implement these tools to automate borrower interactions immediately. Borrowers will see the impact when their lender enables the Reply-to-Pay feature, replacing manual portals with direct SMS-based payment initiation.
The takeaway
The rollout of PayPrompt Pro marks a pivot toward embedding payment collection into existing SMS communication channels. Financial institutions should track how this integration affects their payment reconciliation speeds compared to legacy web-portal models.
