Payment tracking and collections for consumer lenders

Payment schedules, recurring instalments and reminders before the due date. Every borrower is followed up automatically by email and SMS. And when someone needs to talk, the call happens inside Paymely with our virtual phone: your team calls in one click from the browser, or lets the AI do it, in French or English.

Built for:
  • Personal loans
  • Microcredit
  • Purchase financing

Paymely is Quebec-built automated collections software, designed for consumer lenders.

Industry challenges

More loans, tighter budgets and two laws to follow

Stressed credit manager at their desk
$712Bin non-mortgage debt in Canada, up 4.8% in one year. [1]
1.41%of non-mortgage accounts in Quebec are 90 days or more past due. [1]
176%of disposable income: the weight of household debt. [2]
$10Mor 2% of revenue: the maximum penalty under Law 25. [3]

Every loan means dozens of due dates. A late payment nobody follows up becomes two. And every manual call to catch up has to respect the tone, hours and record-keeping the law requires.

What the borrower receives

Three messages, one transfer, zero calls

Example for a $312.50 monthly instalment. Amounts and dates come from your file; the tone comes from your templates.

Everything in one place

What does Paymely do for a lender?

  • Reminder before the due date

    A courteous email or text a few days before each instalment.

  • One file per instalment

    A late instalment doesn't affect the others.

  • Interac transfers spotted by AI

    Shown to your team, approved in one click, follow-up stopped.

  • Escalating reminders and settlement offers

    The tone rises step by step; the payment plan offer goes out according to your rules.

  • SMS inbox

    Borrowers reply by text, and you see everything on their profile.

  • Virtual phone

    Call from your browser in one click on the profile: nothing to install. The recording, notes and call time stay on the file.

  • AI voice calls, in French and English

    The AI calls the borrower for you and explains their balance. The outcome, recording included, is logged on their profile. You choose who it calls, and when.

Frequently asked questions

Does Paymely handle loans with multiple instalments?

Yes. That's exactly what the “recurring payments” category does. You import the payment schedule and Paymely tracks every date.

What happens when a borrower pays late?

The reminder sequence starts the day after the due date, with the timing and tone you set once per loan type.

How does the AI spot an Interac transfer?

It reads the transfer notice, matches it to the borrower and the expected amount, and shows it to you. Nothing is applied without your approval.

Can I offer a payment plan automatically?

Yes. Percentage, timing and expiry are your rules; the offer goes out at the step you choose.

How long before we're up and running?

One import file and a guided onboarding session. No IT project.

Does it comply with Law 25 and Quebec's debt collection act?

Paymely provides the guardrails and the audit trail. The content of your messages remains your responsibility, and we help you write it.
