Reliant customers can access their personal barcode to use while checking out in places where they already shop, like grocery and discount stores or pharmacies, with more than 5,000 retail locations that are part of InComm’s VanillaDirectTM payment network. This new payment option helps eliminate the need to wait in customer service lines or remember account numbers. All customers need to make a payment is their barcode and cash, and payments are processed immediately, credited to accounts within 30 minutes and can be made on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
Customers can obtain their barcode in a variety of ways, including:
- Texting barcode to 697-697
- Reliant online account dashboard
- Reliant app
“We’re excited to have our network provide more cash payment options for Reliant’s customers across Texas,” said Tim Richardson, senior vice president, InComm. “Thanks to this partnership, consumers will have the opportunity to save time and effort by paying their bills at retail point of sale in the stores where they already shop; no need to even wait in a separate money services line. For our retailer partners, this is one more way to make their store a regular destination for customers.”
