In the 2024 PayTech Awards USA, CSG Forte Engaged earned the Top Innovation in Payments award.

“Recurring payments will present a $15 trillion opportunity by 2027. This means now is the time for vendors in the space to stay agile and embrace customer choice,” said Nick Maynard, VP of Fintech Market Research, Juniper Research. “CSG consistently surpassed our evaluation criteria for innovation, user experience, compliance and security, in a highly competitive field. We were impressed by how CSG Forte Engage offers a true omnichannel experience to help improve customer satisfaction and engagement while mitigating late, failed and abandoned payments.”

“Consumers want more flexibility in how they pay,” said Jeff Kump, president, Payments, CSG. “Organizations that offer a variety of payment methods across multiple channels, while making transactions easier for the customer, can complete more payments, save call center costs and drive customer satisfaction and loyalty.

I am grateful to work with a team that goes above and beyond to deliver these results to our customers.”

With the low-to-no code platform, organizations can create personalized, secure statements and send them to customers for payment via the channel of their choice.
