Why Radius uses SMS for returned direct debits

Radius, a leader in fleet mobility and connectivity solutions, needed to communicate with customers on the move and make it convenient for them to receive returned direct debit reminders and make payments.

Together, Radius and CM.com decided to deploy SMS, which gives them the flexibility to pay on their own time.

“SMS is a quick and non-intrusive way to bring in payment, making it successful when customers need to pay on the move.” James Welton, Head of Business Development at CM.com

As a result, 48% of customers clicked on the link and made payments, saving the equivalent of two full-time employees.
