🤝 A new partnership to boost savings & efficiency with BB Merchant Services! Discover how we're driving innovation with Open Banking.

BrightOffice, a CRM provider, partners with UK Open Banking Payments as a Service fintech, Ordo

London, UK – BrightOffice, part of ClearCourse, provides bespoke CRM software for consumer and business lenders, training providers, finance brokers and collection agencies.

Ordo’s cloud native Open Banking as a Service payments platform enables businesses to collect payment instantly, direct from a customer’s bank account, at low cost and offers a fully hosted and managed plug and play white label service.

BrightOffice’s new integration with Ordo allows Broker and Lender CRM users to request a single payment via Open Banking from their customers. An email is then sent with a link to Ordo, and once a payment has been made a receipt is automatically added to the customer’s ledger.

Open Banking is the simple, swift and secure way CRM platforms can add value for their customers, giving them a boost to their cash flow with real time payments, up to the minute information via web hooks, and lower cost payment collection and reconciliation efficiencies. Being able to offer these benefits to business users really differentiates BrightOffice’s proposition.

BrightOffice was impressed by the simplicity of Ordo integration and the quality of support from the Ordo team during the process.

Everyone we dealt with at Ordo, Francis, Mike, and Toby, were all very friendly and helped to keep us on track. They were always available to assist us if we had any questions. We look forward to our next Ordo integration for the new VRP (Variable Recurring Payments) functionality, which we’ll be integrating next.

We’re thrilled to be partnering with Ordo to bring instant Open Banking payments to our offering, both for pay out of loans to, and managed repayments from, our customers. All the team at Ordo were great to work with and the integration process was quick and easy with their expert guidance; they also worked with our CRM partner, BrightOffice, to ensure comprehensive assistance was given at every turn. As the cost of living crisis continues, customers need affordable credit where repayments are constantly being tailored to their individual affordability, and that’s what this partnership brings. Working with Ordo means our customers can feel in control of their money and always have an up to date position of where they are at.
