PayPoint has agreed a five-year deal with allpay.net, which is primarily focused in the local government and housing sectors. The new agreement will see PayPoint, a bill payment and collections specialist, become allpay.net's sole convenience retail network partner, and will be offered by allpay.net alongside the Post Office network for over-the-counter payments. ‘The PayPoint brand and its high consumer awareness were shown to be an essential part of allpay.net's offer,' PayPoint's sales and marketing director, Mark Astbury explained. ‘We look forward to offering allpay.net clients the best retail-based payment collection service in the market.' allpay.net will honour its existing client commitments to other retail convenience payment networks, but only PayPoint will be offered to new clients in future.
