Payments, the native payment processing system for US users of Collect!'s collection software, the company said in an announcement published by [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/949352112/payscout-provides-collect-payments-with-its-paywire-gateway-and-convenience-fee-solution) on October 15, 2026. The integration gives Collect! Payments users access to Payscout's Paywire platform, an ARM-centric gateway that enables integrated payment processing directly within the Collect! Software via API.\n\n## How the Paywire Integration Works for Collect! Users\n\nThe Paywire platform supports omnichannel payment capabilities, including credit, debit, ACH, and HSA, delivered within a PCI-compliant environment, according to the announcement. Collect! Payments users can accept and manage payments securely within the Collect! Interface, implement Convenience Fee programs designed to align with card brand requirements, streamline reconciliation, and reduce manual processes.\n\nConnectivity to Paywire also provides access to Payscout's 360° Fee-Free Payments Program and digital payment capabilities through Apple Pay and Google Pay. The program allows merchants to eliminate or significantly reduce payment processing costs by applying a flat fee for the convenience of accepting card-not-present payments online or over the phone, while aligning with applicable regulatory and card brand requirements.\n\n\"We're proud to expand our partnership with Collect! Through a full integration with the Paywire Gateway, reinforcing our shared commitment to modernizing infrastructure across the evolving ARM industry,\" said Kimberly Rebello, Payscout's VP of Operations & Partner Success. \"By embedding secure, compliant, and highly flexible payment capabilities directly into the Collect! Platform, we are enabling greater operational efficiency, elevating the customer experience, and accelerating innovation powered by solutions like our 360° Fee-Free Payments program.\"\n\nJohn Mitropoulos, Collect!'s Managing Director, said the new Collect! – Vault – Paywire ecosystem stores all plan and encrypted card data in Collect!, giving users greater flexibility to manage and edit payment arrangements on the fly. Collect! Is the flagship product of Comtech Systems, founded in 1988, and is used by collection agencies, debt buyers, banks and credit unions, medical and dental billing offices, legal offices, municipal fine collection offices, rental agencies, and consumer and business credit grantors.\n\n## Payscout's Earlier Platform Partnerships\n\nPayscout expanded its integration with Roydan's Bloodhound platform in September 2026 to add secure credit card and ACH processing, plus its 360° Fee-Free Payments Program, Globalfintechseries reported. In July 2026, Payscout announced a strategic alliance with Pronto Connects, a provider of modern communication and customer engagement solutions, according to Globalfintechseries. Payscout and Concepts2Code, now part of DialConnection, integrated Payscout's Paywire gateway in May 2026, enabling ecosystem partners to offer flexible, compliant payment options, EIN Presswire reported.\n\n## Payment Partnerships Across the Sector\n\nCOLIBRIX ONE partnered with Primer on October 13, 2026 to give subscription merchants card vaulting, dunning management, smart routing, and automatic fallbacks, with compliance verification completed within 48 hours, [PRLog](https://www.prlog.org/13176339-colibrix-one-primer-partnering-to-win-back-failed-renewals.html) reported.
