“Authvia’s platform covers all of these requirements, but without the typical burdens associated with implementing other contactless or mobile payment options, and it functions on messaging channels nearly all consumers are already comfortable using.”
According to Trevor Rubel, Authvia president, and chief operating officer, the upgrade coincides with a series of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) partner launches that will reach thousands of U.S. merchant locations over the remainder of the year. Authvia’s latest TXT2PAY® version empowers channel partners to “rapidly integrate and deploy a contactless payments solution to their entire network of business clients,” Rubel said.

“Enabling safer payment experiences is now just as critical as offering a fast, convenient, and friendly experience,” continued Rubel. “Authvia’s platform covers all of these requirements, but without the typical burdens associated with implementing other contactless or mobile payment options, and it functions on messaging channels nearly all consumers are already comfortable using.”
Moreover, Rubel noted the benefits of using TXT2PAY go well beyond the experience. “Usage data has confirmed consumers are not hesitating to use Authvia for making large, on-demand purchases, and they’re consistently paying bills up to 10 days earlier, simply because it’s convenient,” he said.
Matt Filion, chief technology officer at Authvia, added, “Authvia’s channel partners now have a streamlined set of tools to help them easily set up business clients with TXT2PAY functionality.” He explained that once integrated, onboarding a new merchant can often occur “within a matter of minutes, including connecting to over 20 pre-integrated U.S. processing platforms.”
