Payzone acquires Bill Payments with ScottishPower

Payzone said it has signed a long-term contract with ScottishPower to offer bill payments which means retailers can offer this payment solution to customers in all Payzone stores and Post Office branches.

Payzone, which has been providing ScottishPower smart metering payments for a few years now, said the acquisition of Talexus, Quantum and barcoded bill payments means that retailers can offer more ways for customers to pay their energy bills in store.

This bill payments service, in addition to the existing Smart Pay as you go top up service, means that more ScottishPower customers will now have access to bill payments in Payzone stores and Post office branches. Customers can make payments by bringing their barcoded bill, prepayment key or card to top up over the counter in your store or branch by using our Payzone terminals.

“We are pleased to welcome ScottishPower bill payments on board. This is the latest in a long line of energy contract acquisitions. ScottishPower have a strong UK customer base, especially in Scotland, and this new contract means that more customers can pay their bills through Payzone or the Post Office through this latest partnership,” Simon Lambert, commercial director for Payzone, said.

Neil Pegrum, Head of UK Operations for ScottishPower, added: “We're thrilled to be working with Payzone as it makes it easier and more accessible for all our customers to pay their bills and top up their prepayment meters. With the added convenience of 24,000 Payzone stores and Post Office branches to choose from, ScottishPower customers are never too far away from a branch so they can access our services and pay bills or top up with ease.”
