While automated emails and SMS are effective for past-due reminders, Lexop is designed specifically for collections. Our solution provides a secure embedded payment link in all outgoing communication with a white-labeled payment portal that exists as an extension of your brand. Lexop can transform your collections into a revenue-generating and loyalty-building function and deliver a seamless repayment experience for customers.
We built Lexop to empower past-consumers and provide them with the best experience possible without agent intervention. When a reminder is sent to a past-due customer, Lexop streamlines the self-cure process into three simple steps:
1. Decide to pay the bill: Customers have the autonomy to make the decision to settle their outstanding balance.
2. Determine the amount to pay: Customers can choose how much they wish to pay, providing flexibility if payment plans are offered.
3. Select the payment method: Customers have the freedom to choose their preferred payment method, whether it be Credit Card, Debit Card, Bank Transfer (EFT/ACH), Interac, or other available options.
Lexop is used by a diverse range of organizations including financial institutions, credit unions, telcos, utilities, and auto financing companies.

Security and Compliance
Customers are given the opportunity to opt out of both email and text messaging communications.
All communications sent from Lexop appear to originate from your own domain. Our payment portal is fully white-labeled, ensuring that your customers see no trace of Lexop in their interactions. Email communications and payment portals would include your logo, brand colors, relevant links and support numbers, ensuring a seamless repayment experience for your customers.
Lexop's cloud infrastructure is hosted in Azure's data centers, leveraging the robust capabilities provided by Microsoft. With a focus on reliability and data protection, our storage and operations are backed by Azure's geographical redundancies and stringent measures. This ensures high availability and disaster recovery, aligning with our commitment to maintaining the security and integrity of your data. As part of our dedication to compliance, Lexop is SOC2 Type 2 compliant, providing further assurance regarding the safety and confidentiality of your information.
Data is encrypted both at-rest (server-side encryption using FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module and AES 256-bit cipher) and in-transit (SSL/TLS). Sensitive credentials are encrypted in the database using AES-256-bit cipher.
Because Lexop is not a collection agency and is used by the original creditor, the strict rules of engagement covered by US federal laws (FDCPA and Reg F) do not apply here.
Outsourcing the servicing of past-due accounts is not the same as the sale of past-due accounts to a 3rd party (debt collector/collection agency). The email and sms campaigns sent via Lexop do not require the consent of the past-due customer. They are considered transactional communications.
