SHAZAM launches real-time debit card bill pay solution for organizations
posted on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 in Company News
SHAZAM® announces a new bill pay capability through its Peregrine™ payment gateway, enabling businesses to collect customer payments directly from debit cards with immediate access to funds. The new offering delivers a faster, simpler alternative to ACH and paper checks, helping companies streamline collections and improve cash flow.
With bill pay, organizations can pull funds in real time from a customer’s debit card to cover payments such as insurance premiums, healthcare bills, utilities, memberships and subscriptions. Transactions are processed in 30 seconds or less, giving customers a convenient way to stay current on payments while reducing friction for fintech providers.
“Organizations need payment options that move at the speed their customers expect,” said David Grace, Senior Vice President of Business Development at SHAZAM. “With bill pay through the Peregrine™ gateway, companies can deliver a modern debit card experience that eliminates the delays and limitations of traditional payment methods.”
