Enables businesses needing a comprehensive web presence, including collection agencies, to easily incorporate Mobile Optimization, QR Codes, SEO and Online Payments

Phoenix, Ariz. – March 14, 2013 – BillingTree®, one of the nation’s leading on-demand payment processors, announced today a partnership with Branding Arc®, a provider of customized brand and marketing solutions, to offer fully integrated, mobile-optimized including QR Codes, web payment services within their website development offering.

The partnership emerged from both company’s experience serving the ARM Industry, and will initially benefit billers and collection agencies without a comprehensive web presence. Through expanded visibility, companies can quickly increase the likelihood debtors will find where to make payments, while at the same time, help to develop new clientele for their business. A Branding Arc developed web presence includes creative services, offers powerful SEO and mobile optimized websites, and with BillingTree extends the service to include integrated access to online payments.

“Our new partnership with BillingTree supplies easy access to online payment functionality for customers, something not previously available within Branding Arc’s web development offering,” commented Adam Parks, President of Branding Arc. “Having a comprehensive web presence offers a huge opportunity for billers and collection agencies, improving their bottom line and likelihood of receiving payments, especially today with the rapid shift toward mobile device initiated commerce.”

“It’s exciting that innovative technology, like QR Codes optimized for mobile payments, continue to emerge within the ARM Industry,” commented Liz Caracciolo, Vice President of Corporate Development at BillingTree.  “By integrating Branding Arc’s powerful website creation tools with BillingTree’s payment processing, billers and collection agencies gain a seamless, truly-optimized online presence with a secure payment channel for their customers to pay through.”
