Borrowers are paying digitally, and the stakes are rising

Loan billing and payments are the moment borrowers judge you

For many borrowers, the payment portal is the only interaction they have with their lender each month. When paying is hard, payments are missed, calls pile up and trust drops. When it is easy, borrowers pay on time and engage more with the rest of what you offer.

A compliant self-service portal for loan billing and payments

The DataOceans Customer Portal is more than a payment portal. It is a secure self-service experience for borrowers, built for consumer finance platforms and lenders that want to simplify billing and grow digital engagement.

  • One-time and recurring payments

    Borrowers pay securely online, once or on a schedule, which helps reduce late payments and collection issues.

  • Customer self-service

    Borrowers manage accounts, view payment history, access documents and update their information on their own schedule.

  • Alerts and reminders

    Email and text notifications keep borrowers informed of due dates and account events, with preferences borrowers control.

  • Secure and accessible

    PCI Level 1 compliance, Single Sign-On options and access controls protect data. The portal is built to current WCAG and ADA guidelines.

  • Connects to your systems

    Integrates with your loan management system, payment provider and backend systems, so you do not have to change your core processes.

  • Branded and mobile-first

    Fully branded to your organization, with a mobile-first design that works on the phone, tablet or computer the borrower chooses.

Clear payment options protect borrowers and your business

Regulators have looked closely at how lenders and servicers handle payment fees and disclosures. A portal that gives borrowers clear, consistent payment choices makes compliance easier to build into the experience.

CFPB Supervisory Highlights, Junk Fees Special Edition (March 2023)

Examiners found that auto servicers engaged in unfair and abusive acts or practices by charging payment processing fees that far exceeded their costs. Approximately 90 percent of consumer payments incurred a pay-to-pay fee, and the only free options were preauthorized recurring ACH and mailed checks.
