Pay-by-phone-systems are rapidly gaining in popularity and in public acceptance, yet we all know some are better than others. The best automatic payment system is one that is easy for everyone: the caller making payments, the organisation receiving the payment and the bank that accepts and validates the payment. Australian Technology Partnerships (ATP) has the answer with a service that delivers multiple benefits to everyone, making one of the easiest decisions you'll ever face. ATP continually monitors service performance while ensuring that technology issues are always 'leading edge' The bottom line is that you and your customers receive the full cost benefits of the technical excellence at a minimum cost. ATP has a nationwide network of payment systems ensuring that the vast majority of the country can access your payment services for the price of a local telephone call.   Even if your operations are entirely local, ATP's service will provide more cost-effective than any other solution. But the real benefits are seen most acutely if you have national operations - consider the saving on One-800, One-3 or One-300 long distance call charges. In effect saving on long distance call will subsidise your cost and may even represent a net profit. Cost-effective telecommunications? An opportunity like that doesn't come along every day!
