Transforming Utility Payments: Enhancing Accessibility and Support

Join this informative panel discussion to learn how utilities can make digital and paperless billing and payments more accessible, addressing customer vulnerability and affordability. Utilities get one shot a month to change customer behavior and make a good impression, and our panel will discuss strategies to reduce late payments due to “I forgot” through better engagement, allowing staff to focus on those who truly need the help. Explore how user-friendly digital payments, enhanced with responsible AI, can proactively identify late payments, provide flexible payment plans, and offer payment assistance, making digital payments easier for everyone.
