Billing was rigid, slow, and stressful for customers
Debt collection agencies often suffer from outdated reputations, are impersonal, paper-based, and hard to engage with. Lowell wanted to change that narrative. Their goal: offer customers a faster, more convenient way to settle payments, and modernize their communication to match today’s digital expectations.
Sending mobile invoices by SMS for easier payments
In partnership with LINK and Nets, Lowell implemented Mobile Invoice via SMS, a frictionless way to send invoices and payment reminders directly to customers’ phones.
The solution included:
A secure SMS link to a branded landing page with the total amount due
Instant access to multiple payment methods like Vipps, Swish, MobilePay, Visa, Mastercard, and bank transfers
Real-time confirmation for both sender and recipient
Seamless experience—no app download, no OCR number input
This allowed customers to pay wherever and whenever they wanted, reducing complexity and boosting compliance.
“An SMS makes it easier for the customer to pay on the move, while ensuring we receive the money faster. We’ve improved cash flow and reduced payment time from 18 days to 45 minutes.”
