One of the leading providers of payment and open banking technology i2c has announced its partnership with SmartHealth PayCard.
The collaboration with the FinTech company, which seeks to evolve the culture of healthcare payments, is enabled with the agile processing of i2c.
Paul Clampitt, an insurance expert and co-founder of SmartHealth PayCard commented: “We’re pleased to be changing the culture of today’s healthcare payments with the SmartHealth PayCard.
“We want consumers to have a seamless, frictionless, and more comfortable way to manage their expenses. We’ve been impressed by i2c because they’ve demonstrated an ability to listen to our needs and mobilize to deliver innovative solutions in extremely short timeframes.”
SmartHealth PayCard provides the first credit card dedicated solely to healthcare, increasing efficiency for consumers to manage medical expenses in today’s environment of high deductibles, high co-pays and costly medical emergencies.
SmartHealth PayCard co-founder and healthcare expert Jeff Blankinship calls the card a financial cure for healthcare added: “Cardholders pay for their health needs right away and their healthcare providers get paid on-time, so they can focus on treating patients instead of accounts receivable.”
Moreover, SmartHealth PayCard is also designed for immediate payment to healthcare providers.
Nikki Waters, SVP, Head of Global Marketing at i2c Inc concluded: “The SmartHealth PayCard is yet another example of the innovative credit solutions that i2c can enable to help issuers solve real consumer payment needs – in this case providing a new way for consumers to manage and pay for all their healthcare needs and expenses.
“We recognise how important it is for our partners to bring their product vision to market quickly and the agility of our platform allows us to deliver on that beyond what even our clients believe possible.”
